My introduction

[JGHeaven]

I won't bore with a super long introduction but I have some friends in the map community who've known me for a while and can vouch for me if needed.
I'm a female map in my early 30's, an activist and I've been delaying joining this forum because sometimes I feel I already spend too much time on map forums, with friends or engaged in map activism, and so adding another forum wouldn't be the best idea. But a friend has been urging me to join because he just felt that in terms of activism, this is one of the best places to be.

I'm primarily attracted to girls from 3 to 12 but I'm also attracted to adults and to males.

I started to notice my attraction as a teenager. It was a confusing time for me because I experimented with female friends, had boyfriends, had a fantasy life around some adults such as certain teachers and I found myself strongly attracted to girls in lower years. But as I went through my teen years and then early 20s it became much clearer to me that most of my fantasy life and attraction was around young girls. Sure I had adult partners but they always felt like shadows of my desires for young girls. That's just something I had to deal with and it was much later when I first encountered others like me and I started to consider myself a pedophile. Over time I got involved in activism and connected with more people until I got to where I am today.

I'm not an overt lesbian, I've had long term relationships that haven't worked out for one reason or another, sometimes my fault and sometimes not. One guy cheated on me so that's entirely his fault but then there's been times I felt stifled in a relationship with a non-map who wouldn't accept that side of me so I've ended it. Today I'm not looking for love but rather I've thrown myself into other areas of life including spending time with friends, baking a little, reading and map activism.

I'm not technical, I'm not a professor but I am sincere and I love contributing to subjects of activism and building a better world.

Welcome JGHeaven. What kind of activism have you been involved in?

[JGHeaven]

I've helped a technical map friend to test some things he's built, I've proof read and contributed to written content, I've supported several maps who have become good friends both financially and with just dealing with life, I've posted on social media and forums to challenge anti map arguments.

Not world changing but doing what I can, where I can.
