I have no hesitation in identifying one Miranda Galbreath, of Erie, Pennsylvania, as a pernicious influence. Galbreath, of the GI Jane haircut, is a sex therapist and counsellor whose website identifies her as ‘queer’, and someone with particular interest in ‘supporting diverse populations inc. LGBTQ, kinky and poly’.
So then, what’s the fair Miranda done that’s getting people’s necks up? Well, she reckons that Joe Public has been rather unforgiving towards pa*dophiles, you know, those unsavoury types with a preference for sex with children.
‘Let’s talk about “Minor Attracted Persons”, who are probably the most vilified folks (folks ffs) in our culture’, prattles on Mizzzz Galbreath, ‘ “pa*dophile” being a judgmental, hurtful insult to an already marginalised population’. That’s right; the poor souls are just misunderstood.
I’ve heard MAP advocates argue this before. I’ve heard them say that we should describe these nasties in terms which they would wish to use for themselves. I think not. In my book, this is just a way to get the rest of us to be comfortable and accepting when the ‘M’ gets added to the ‘LGBTQ’ alphabet.
How about this, you fooking loon? Let’s NOT talk about ‘MAPs’, lets call a spade a spade. Let’s NOT try to minimise the problem. Let’s NOT fudge things and try to make the offender sound like the victim. Let’s NOT attempt in any degree to normalise very abnormal behaviour. What next, are we going to start referring to murderers as ‘life termination perpetrators’?
Pa*dophiles do not deserve to receive tolerance, sympathy or undertanding from the rest of us. They’re earned the stigma of the word by their heinous behaviour. So fuck off over there you barmy apologist, and when you get there, fuck off again.
