16/12: Pro-Reform's position on AMSC

[WavesInEternity]

I've worked with kids of pretty much all ages. I am aware of the reality, but we can't change the world overnight.

On the whole, we appear to be in agreement in all key respects: if we are to change society, we ought to start somewhere, and this initial change must take into account the limited range of possibilities that are realistic to envision in practice.

We can move towards more fundamental change afterwards once we've obtained evidence for widespread consensual AMSC that is demonstrably harmless and positive.

What do you think of my idea, briefly mentioned elsewhere, that we should prioritize reaching the point where the law in at least one jurisdiction would allow for the existence of a specialized dating website for MAAs & AAMs (12+ or 13+) with the participation of authorities and academics, preferably non-profit and perhaps with dedicated social workers? In any case, we first and foremost ought to prove that consensual AMSC works.

My AoA is 8-14, so the proposal would be far from perfect from a purely selfish position, if implemented.

My apologies. The unfortunate fact, then, is that most paedophile GLs would effectively be sidelined by this proposal, but hopefully it would serve to facilitate further change in the future.
