A place to talk about Minor-Attracted People, and MAP/AAM-related issues. The attraction itself, associated paraphilia/identities and AMSC/AMSR (Adult-Minor Sexual Contact and Relations).

The idea that trans women using women's bathrooms poses a threat to cisgender women is largely based on misconceptions and unfounded fears. First of, trans women are women. They identify as female and often undergo social, medical, or legal transitions to align their gender identity with their lived experience. When trans women use women's bathrooms, they are simply seeking to use facilities that correspond to their gender identity, just as cisgender women do. Furthermore, there is no evidence to support the claim that allowing trans women to use women's bathrooms increases the risk of harm to cisgender women. Studies and reports from various jurisdictions that have implemented inclusive bathroom policies show no increase in incidents of violence or harassment in women's restrooms. In fact, the real threat often comes from people who do not respect gender identity and may misuse bathroom access to target vulnerable populations.

Additionally, the fear surrounding trans women in bathrooms often stems from stereotypes and societal misconceptions about trans people. These stereotypes can perpetuate stigma and discrimination, leading to a misunderstanding of the realities faced by trans people. Trans women are more likely to be victims of violence and harassment than perpetrators, making the narrative of them being a threat to cisgender women not only misleading but harmful. Moreover, inclusive bathroom policies are designed to create safe and welcoming environments for all individuals, regardless of their gender identity. Many public facilities already have policies in place that allow individuals to use the restroom that aligns with their gender identity, and these policies have been successfully implemented without incident.

They sure are. If you look at it, there are many parallels between all marginalised communities. Misconceptions, stigma, social and institutionalised discrimination, lack of social support and other resources, lack of recognition and rights, heightened suicide risk and chances of developing mental health issues, susceptible to violence/hate crimes, etc.

So I think if those things didn't exist none of this would happen. But maybe it all comes for people thinking that being different is being wrong. And neither they want to respect differences.

Some people fear those who are different from themselves due to a lack of understanding and familiarity. When people encounter others with different backgrounds, beliefs, or lifestyles, it can create discomfort and anxiety. This fear is often compounded by societal stereotypes and prejudices that shape perceptions, leading to negative assumptions about certain groups. Additionally, this society promotes a tendency to form ingroups and view those outside their group with suspicion. This dynamic can foster a sense of threat when faced with differences that challenge established norms or beliefs. Personal experiences also play a role; if someone has had negative encounters with individuals from different backgrounds, they may generalise that fear to others who share similar characteristics.

The influence of upbringing and social environment can contribute to these fears. People raised in homogenous communities may develop mistrust towards outsiders, while sensationalised media coverage can reinforce negative stereotypes and amplify fears. Ultimately, addressing these fears requires education, exposure to diverse perspectives, and open dialogue to foster understanding and empathy.

I'm not ashamed of being a MAP and my first post is that men's attraction to young girls is not only normal and natural, nowhere in the Bible doesn't mention age restrictions or discourage relations with the Youngins. In fact, children were the norm even with Jews and Christiabs, not just Muslims.

Treatment for what?

Children are sexual beings, especially in promiscuous cultures. Look at Toddlers and Tieras. Look at child models and pageants. Children pageants are very popular in Latin America, and the kiddos are always scantily clad. Hot AF to be quite honest, and while we can't say it, there's a reason mama dresses them that way. She knows!

If they're ten or older maybe younger, they know and understand what's going on, so as long as it's consensual it shouldn't be a problem. Evrry girl I ever dated lost their virginity at 12 or 13, usually by boys just a few years older. You have to get then early if you want then untouched, and that's a fact. Besides, if they are sexually active anyway, restrictions on age is just age discrimination!
