I think you meant to say that you do not believe that pedophilia is any more a mental illness than homosexuality.
While it is true that neither pedophilia nor homosexuality are forms of mental illness, it does not necessarily follow that either of them are matters of choice or preference, rather than compulsion. In spite of your opinion on this subject, I think that the better thinking in today's scientific world is that both homosexuality and pedophilia are genetically formed, rather than matters of free choice.
I prefer to believe that they are both choice, but it, ultimately, means the same thing. Either you can chose, or you can't. It makes no sense to argue that adult homosexuals and heterosexuals cannot choose, then argue that adult pedophiles are free to choose.
Homosexuality is not a choice and neither is pedophilia.
good to see you feel that way.
So lets extrapolate this.
since being a homosexual is not a mental illness based on what you are sexually attracted to.... then neither is or should be pedophilia.
homosexuals however play within the rules of the age of consent.... they play with adults and are attracted to adults.
pedos..... still want what they want... and that is children. What pisses them off is what they want is off limits to them and against the law.
There is no "fixing or curing" pedos..... just as there is no "fixing or curing" someone who is gay.
So saying that they will ever be safe around children becasue they are "cured"....is dangerous.
