Miranda Galbreath, a licensed professional counselor who provides evaluations and treatment to sex offenders in prison and in her community, called for the destigmatizing of pedophiles in a YouTube video posted in July.
Galbreath, who is a member of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT), called pedophiles “minor-attracted persons,” claiming they are “probably the most vilified population of folks in our culture” in the video.
“Most folks are making incorrect assumptions about them [pedophiles] without actually knowing much about them, and those assumptions create harm for an already marginalized population,” Galbreath said.
“You may have noticed that I’m using the term ‘minor-attracted persons,’ sometimes abbreviated to MAPs, instead of the more commonly used term pedophile. And I’m doing this because the term pedophile has moved from being a diagnostic label to being a judgmental hurtful insult that we hurl at people in order to harm them or slander them,” she continued.
Galbreath claimed pedophiles do not “choose” to be attracted to children.
“They’ve not chosen this attraction, just as the rest of us have not chosen whatever our attraction is. You don’t choose to be heterosexual, or to be gay, or whatever you are, and you don’t get to choose to be a minor-attracted person.”
Galbreath also claimed there is a distinction between being sexually attracted to children and molesting children.
“Just like all the rest of us, acting on an attraction is a choice that we make,” she said.
Galbreath bemoaned the fact that there isn’t a lot of research on pedophiles, claiming this is due to false stigma attached to people who want to have sex with children.
“We unfortunately do not have a lot of good research on minor-attracted folks because the label is so stigmatizing that most of these folks do not feel safe to come forward to participate in research or seek support when they need it,” she continued.
“Most of these folks hide their attraction for fear of losing their entire life if they came out as a minor-attracted person. They risk losing their family, their friends, their job, and their safety in the community if people knew of their attraction,” Galbreath said.
Everything about that OP picture screams out, “DANGER TO CHILDREN!!!!” to me.
Yeah. And it’s slow moving but unstoppable at this point.
Still time to move to higher/safer ground though.
See #14.
DANGER SIGNS:
(Any ONE of these could have an alternate explanation; taken together, they should scream, “RUN” to anyone.)

15-what, 999?) Several other paintings at least as disturbing
“ not a single one showed any regret because they didn’t believe they had done anything wrong”
Every time Michael Jackson was asked about molestation, he would only answer that he would never hurt a child. That’s how, in his mind, he never did anything wrong.
Love it.

pedophiles have no redeeming qualities.
They cannot be rehabilitated.
Kill them

I’ve seen match book covers where you can get degrees like that.
Make no mistake about it the number 1 goal of the LGBTQ’ers is legalization of sex with children, and they will get it because we don’t fight it.
I’ve seen match book covers where you can get courses in drawing that....................
Millstone, neck, body of water.....some assembly required.
Xe looks like a dude pretending to be an ugly chick ... and that’s some really creepy, weird “art” framed on the wall behind him.
Ropes and lampposts abound in this country.
It is intended to be discriminatory, yah TWOT. Makes it easier to sort out which ones go up against the wall. Pedo and bestiality first. Then, the serial murderers and rapists.
Child abuse victims don't like child abusers.
Inmates with children on the outside don't like child abusers.
You'll find a lot of both in general population.
How long before they refer to thieves as OPSAPs - other people’s stuff attracted persons.
Same here and some people think a degree is hard to get.
Is “destigmatize” code-language for “castrate”?
With all the redefining of words it is hard to keep track.
Hey….same sex marriage is decent and moral according to our leader….who himself is fascinated with children….why not MAP next.? We have happily accepted everything else.
Slippery slope anyone?
