I have occasionally checked in on their X/Twitter account since I last posted on this thread, they spout complete nonsense 99% of the time. Not surprised really, these people occasionally spew anti-MAP sentiment to try and stay relevant in their increasingly irrelevant community.

Earlier this year, they posted one of their few hit-tweets, https://x.com/TheEmmapreneur/status/1879282397599981779, about a 10+ year old NYT article that, while calling pedophilia a disorder (something I dislike, it's a stigmatized orientation), at least recognized it isn't a crime. Which is correct, it is not a crime. I am not breaking any laws by admitting that I have an attraction to children. People can be disgusted by that, and I don't blame them as I was too with myself for a time, but these people are beyond childish in wanting MAPs to be afraid to reach out for help.

You're missing the whole point and making it worse. Do better.

The video lost me in the first 10 seconds, that's impressive.

The video lost me in the first 10 seconds, that's impressive.

The fact that it sounds like a 14 year boy kept me a little longer than that, but not by much.

Trump appointee who is clearly very intelligent.

"Minor Attracted People" should be a slur.

We need to call them what they are: p*dophiles.

Does she understand what a slur is? I think maybe the term MAP really has really worked, since by definition it includes people who haven't broken any laws.

The TED talk video is also being recycled.

Responding to an event from May 5th 2018 in March 2025. Reacting over half a decade after it happened (and incidentally it occurred during the first Trump presidency).

More culture war sensationalism, from the person that brought capital bathroom restrictions to prevent the single transgender woman from using the women's bathroom. For perspective, there are 435 seats in the US House of Representatives, only one of which is transgender.

When is America going to stop focusing on the culture war and perceptions, and start to focus on substantive problems and the tough questions that come with actual moral leadership?

When Americans stop living inside their little bubble where they can as naive about the world as possible and wake up to real suffering like all the shit America has done in the Middle East


The only good thing about being an American is your born privileged which can be used either for good or evil ie I want to help those below but most Americans rather stay in their little bubble.

When the library’s press release announcing the space’s upgrades was published by the York Weekly, Sampson said she was shocked to see some of the comments posted on social media.

“Why are there trans flags hanging from the ceiling?” Edminster wrote in one comment. Another comment, which was deleted on the York Weekly Facebook page, referenced the acronym MAPs, which, according to Snopes, is short for “minor attracted persons.”
