I am a 28 year old woman from Central Europe. AMAB but do not identify as trans. You may call me Julia.
I am a MAP and activist. A couple years ago, I came out on Instagram with 140k followers with an essay destigmatising attraction towards minors, explaining what it means and what it does not mean etc. I am also a CSA survivor, having been sexually abused by a teacher from age 9 to 10. Furthermore, I am a big nerd for history and anthropology, and have a lot of knowledge about the general mentality around attraction towards minors and adult/minor relationships throughout history and various cultures. All in all, I have quite some expertise which I am happy to share. While I have avoided communities so far, this one seems rather wholesome, and I am very pleased to be here and to get to meet all you lovely people (:

Re: Hello!
Welcome!
That was very brave of you. I'm curious, how did your follower count look afterwards?

Re: Hello!
I posted it on my story in ten slides. Only one of the slides was removed. I saved it as a highlight, and it still lives on my page to this day.
After everything had cooled down again, the follower count had dropped by 20k, so 120k. The number of unfollows would be a lot smaller if it weren't for the way it happened. Initially, I had the essay on my website which was linked in my bio. Some antis found out about it and started an entire smear campaign against me, making posts with bits of my essay taken out of context, (the obligatory) painting me as a rapist, pretending that they "exposed" me, and encouraging their followers to harass me and to warn everyone about me. They even started messaging my followers directly. I found out because one of my followers that they messaged called out their bullshit and told me they're messaging my followers.
To defend myself against this smear campaign, I posted the essay on my story so people would see what I actually wrote rather than this fabricated, false image of me, making it obvious that the posts they were making about me were complete bullshit designed to damage my reputation. After that, I got a lot of support from my followers. They would call out the people attacking me in comment sections both on my posts and theirs.
At the worst point, I was receiving harassing messages every five to ten seconds. This went on for a day while the rate gradually decreased. Between those harassing messages, I would occasionally also get supportive messages, a lot of which were quite long and detailed. Some of the supportive messages I received came from fellow csa survivors and psychotherapists, telling me that everything I said is correct and thanking me for talking about this openly. One supportive message came from a particular famous social psychologist who follows me whom I won't name. Also got some messages from MAPs who hadn't come to terms with themselves yet who were enormously grateful telling me that my essay has helped them understand and accept themselves.
I still have over a hundred of screenshots of all these supportive messages, and reading through them, I always feel that, in the end, it was all worth it despite the toll it took on my mental health. Eventually, I got somewhat desensitised to the harassment which went on for weeks, but the supportive messages really touched me.
This reply has gotten quite a bit longer than I intended ^^' Maybe I should make this a post.

Like calling someone gross for preferring cake to stale bread. They're obviously the mad ones.
Re: Hello!
Hello, Jullia. So what do you identify as?
Re: Hello!
Nowadays mostly just human. Girl or woman at most, which is also what it says on my ID. Anything else is too abstract for me.

Re: Hello!
Julia, welcome! I am NOT an expert in anthropology or history, but I am an enthusiast. I would love to read any knowledge you can share about the history/prehistory of child sexuality.
