A growing number of MAP (minor attracted people) accounts are forming a network on Twitter. There is a push to normalise and legitimise being sexually attracted to children. The “guide” I have linked is chilling, as are the accounts with MAP tags - they often have AOA in their bio...their “age of attraction”. So AOA 6mnths-4 years is a sexual attraction to children of that age.

Twitter is a huge business, with enormous power - they could, if they chose, take a stand against this.

I have not seen quite so many “ooo what about the poor trans” supporters on one thread in a long time / ever. Why the fuck would you me-rail / trans-rail this thread?

I believe the usual technique is to claim that those commenting on paedophiles are actually conflating them with the trans community - even though, mainly, the latter's only been mentioned because PPs regret child abusers trying to "latch onto" their campaign

I'm another who's learned more than I can say from Datun, Ereshkigal and several others, but what I still don't understand is why everyone doesn't seem to want to stand together on this. I'd have thought that all would be on the same page when it comes to protecting innocent children, but it seems I'm wrong

We neither. Maybe they are reporting behind the scenes, but don't want to say so on the thread because they feel disloyal.

GirlDownUnder · 13/01/2019 20:37

Datun I love your optimism and really hope that, as usual, you’re right.

Why the fuck would you me-rail / trans-rail this thread?

Now, here's the interesting thing: within the first page, OP had connected the (vile) open presence of paedophiles on twitter with trans rights. Even before she had, other posters had already shoehorned it in with their comparisons of twitter censoring GC accounts and apparently not taking any action on this issue. So I don't really see that 'trans-railing' happened because of a trans-sympathetic 'what about the trans?' contingent, at all.

What do you think Twitter should do about the influx of paedophile accounts into Twitter? What should they do about high profile men with extreme fetishes for young girls? Should they suspend women who are raising awareness?

I'm actually not sure why you're interested in my answer to this, I can't claim any expertise and I don't even use Twitter. I suppose I think they should suspend such users and delete the content, and where appropriate refer it to the police? Should they suspend women who are raising awareness - well not for doing so, obviously not, although I guess if 'raising awareness' were to extend to doxxing etc then that should be deleted or whatever accordingly.

FWIW I also mainly lurk, and I mainly avoid trans related discussion on MN because it is just too tiring and unproductive, I got sucked into it here because I thought it was shit to drag trans into a conversation about child sex abuse, and because it's full of the usual browbeating which is too often celebrated as 'robust debate' and it's just bollocks, really.

"Paedophiles are bad. So are trans people"

"woah, why are you bringing trans into it?"

"omg stop trans-railing!"

Pathetic exploitation of abuse victims to trans-bash.

SmileEachDay · 13/01/2019 22:39

Paedophiles are bad. So are trans people

joan even allowing for paraphrasing, where has anyone said anything like that?

Yeah, it's not really that is it joanmcc?

It's that the trans ideology has created a situation where if someone says they are trans, it's possible to be above and beyond every protocol and custom that is acceptable.

A transwoman whose father was a rapist and a paedophile employed him as their election agent. Twice. It was known. But it was allowed. Because they said they are trans.

They were a candidate for the deputy leadership of a political party, ffs. A 20-year-old with no experience, no interest in the issues of the party, and no credibility whatsoever. Whose best friends' nappy fetishises are plastered across the Internet.

The same transwomen has been found by an independent investigation to not understand safeguarding. Nonetheless, they have been instrumental in advising the girl guides. Because they are trans.

They have been found to make serious errors of judgement, independently. Nonetheless, Stonewall are employing them on their trans advisory committee. Because they are trans.

Girl guides and their parents have no choice but to accept boys in their tents and showers, because they are trans. Using policy which was guided by a paedophile.

Women have no choice but to accept men in their prisons, who have then assaulted them, because they are trans.

A paedophile and vexatious litigator has been told their identity will be kept secret and the official reason is because they are trans.

A lifelong advocate of extreme porn and a campaign to lower the age of the participants has advised the government on trans issues. Because they are Trans.

A transwoman, now under investigation, who likes to expose their penis in public and exhorts minors to do the same, also advised the government. Because they are trans.

The people you can blame for this are Stonewall. As they have said that cross dressing fetishists, transvestites and autogynephiles are all officially transgender.

In fact they insist that if someone says they are trans, they are.

People are discovering that saying they are transgender is giving them a Teflon coated path to follow their agenda. You can bloody well blame Stonewall. Not the women who are pointing it out.

Do you seriously think that women believe that men with gender dysphoria are driving this? Men who can't stand their anatomy are leaping on the bandwagon to dismantle safeguarding? Have you even stopped to consider how illogical that is for one second?

I'm sick to death of people blaming women for seeing all this, but not the people doing it.

More like because you don't know what you're talking about and you don't have a decent argument.

Ereshkigal · 14/01/2019 00:03

It's a perfectly relevant point.

This. Exactly. Wake the fuck up.

ReggieKrayDoYouKnowMyName · 14/01/2019 00:12

What the Jeff? Honestly this is horrifying and no legitimate business should be hosting these views on their platforms. Appalling.

SmileEachDay · 14/01/2019 10:55

I have spent the last few pages posting examples of openly paedophilic accounts.

But there are still people saying I’m not really bothered about that, I’m just a transbasher.

I. Am. Fucking. Sick. Of. This. Shit.

You are ignoring honeypots and the facebook vigilante groups.
