Convicted paedophile lusts over Desmond (the amazing one) [trigger warning for obvious reasons]

Tom O'Carroll, former chair of PIE, has written a piece saying how sexy he finds Desmond. I note that our old friend Peter Tatchell is tagged too.

But of course there's nothing wrong or weird with a kid dressing up and dancing in gay clubs. Hmm

At least he's not pretending it's not sexualising childhood I suppose

Thanks for the thread, I'd put this on the prosteas thread but definitely deserves its own.

“it’s cool for grown ups to get turned on my me.” (The author’s words on behalf of the child... the child didn’t say that.)

This is really disturbing.

Where does that actually appear?

It is revolting. His lack of self-awareness is astonishing- or is he so confident he is speaking to a sympathetic audience that he need not self-censor?

However his honesty is a useful tool to explain why Desmond is not amazing.

Which is extremely offensive to the communities who really need pride but I wonder if people are using the increasing commercialism and love of pride to hide behind.

The child didn't say that but do you think that by now that seed hasn't been planted in the child's brain?

Has Tatchell responded to the tag?

Ugh. People wondered how PIE got such a foothold back in the day. I think it's pretty obvious how and the internet has made it so much worse.

I'm sure Munroe and the NSPCC will call this out soon.

I'm sure Tatchell will keep the hell away from our schools.

I'm sure Twitter will ban him and the BBC do an investigative report.

Oh wait, this never happens.

Is this the guy Edward Lord tweeted was a ‘hero’ or am I thinking of some other paedophile?

Imagine a prepubescent little girl, dancing in front of adult males, and adult males tucking notes into her bikini bottoms. And someone writing how lovely for a little girl to be feeling sexy and making men feel sexy.

Most fathers of little girls would become homicidal at this point.

The gay/trans thing is being used as a shield to justify and validate wholly inappropriate sexual behaviour. We've been pointing this out for years. They're getting more and more overtly confident, and isn't it funny that there's a pattern in sexual offenders that they start with a few minor offences, pushing at the boundaries, and get more and more confident as they get away with it.

This is happening in plain sight.

And it's fucking homophobic. Normal men don't perve on children regardless of their sexual orientation, stop pretending that's an excuse. Normal parents don't expose their children to this kind of shit. And normal safeguarding would have stamped on this and started child in need proceedings. Being trans means this kid is being repeatedly failed and deprived of equal safeguarding under law because that word does things to adults' common sense.

This is what happens when you make a sacred fetish of a minority group.

And this is a case in point of why the words are so fucking important

When you strip this down to men openly perving on little boys

men demanding to enter women's spaces and be with them as they undress, shower, toilet

men demanding to counsel women after rapes and give them smear tests whether or not those women consent

men demanding that lesbians sleep with them and learn to accept straight sex

it's very different to all the confusion and screening that the word 'transwoman' or 'transgirl' allows. Society has been massively played by some linguistic trojan horses.

Lass it’s hard to know - the adults around him certainly seem to be sexualising him. Hard to believe his parents think it’s all harmless. He is so young, maybe for him it is all just fun dressing up etc (one can hope)?

I just wanted to be clear that the quote was not from Desmond himself, but from an adult projecting sexual thoughts on to him.

A quick check on KF to make sure they are covering it informs me that Desmond has a sister (a female one) who was taken into care and has made allegations of abuse.

Also, O’Connell’s blog is on Wordpress, a platform that bans ‘deadnaming’.

So you can’t state biological and historical fact without being banned but you can openly promote paedophilia.

Good to know their priorities.

Exactly. We need to keep repeating this.

I am starting to say the same regarding drag in some instances; eg drag queen story time. Would the librarian dress as they do to read a story? Quelle point?
