If you can’t legally consent to sex you certainly cannot legally consent to a sex change.

I agree! For the exact opposite reason.

Every time GAG repeat "kids can't consent", we edge ever closer to the point where it becomes unfashionable for people to repeat "kids can't consent".

They are recycling Karen Berg now - she's over a million impressions after a drag queen trying to molest the peace something something.

We should put out a press release on this:

One step closer to getting on GAG RADAR.

Damned right we want to be included. And yet I also know some MAPS who are not accepting of trans people or those who go by different pronouns.

Over the years my views on this have changed.

I used to think that the term pedophile was burned and conjured up too many negative connotations so I was pro the idea of migrating to the term MAP.
But over recent years I've started to think that was and remains a mistake.

Here's why.

Firstly, the term MAP (Minor Attracted Person) is too focused on attraction and doesn't encompass anything else such as love, respect, feelings of equality in some ways. It boils down the sexual orientation to just attraction. For me, sure there's attraction, but this sexual orientation is much more than that. Pedophile as in the original meaning of the term is a much more accurate description since it encompasses all of that. Pedophile as in child friend or child lover is not just focused on sexual attraction. So the term pedophile is easier to defend by focusing on the definition and meaning of pedophile.

Secondly, this whole rebranding to a new term can create an impression of shape shifting, trying to rebrand to avoid the question and slip under the radar rather than defend the position. If I say I'm a MAP and not a Pedophile, what does that actually mean? If I say to someone I'm a MAP and they say to me isn't that the same thing as a pedophile, how do I respond to that?

I think a much better approach would be to double down on what the term pedophile means as a term distinct to predator. Pull in history, acedmic research, a pedophile is not and never has been something to fear any more than gay or straight is. Predators of all types are something to fear.

I'm not a pedophile, and using "hebephile" makes it sound like I'm trying to split hairs. I am a BL, though.

I still like using "MAP" as the community name, with individual markers for us based on specific attraction.

There has been a lot of controversy in NZ about a green party MP who represents "rainbow children" and ran an undercover account where he used the word "bussy". But this mainly looks like mainstream gay behaviour.

Press and influencers desperately dropping the MAP bomb at every opportunity.

The story has attracted millions of impressions on social media and dragged on for over a week now, with multiple news stories.

There was a previous controversy in NZ over a high profile gay politician following a teen BL account on Instagram.
