You have demonstrated no common sense at all and a complete lack of knowledge in your previous comments, so yeah, you won’t convince me that this was not written by an LLM.

Antiandrogens (and by extension GnRH antagonists) have the bad side effect of bone loss/osteoporosis, so not really a good long term solution, and like SSRIs, they just reduce the sexual drive as a whole. I don’t know where you see any effectiveness here.

Of course your LLM response provides a study that is heavily flawed in it’s methodology and has been criticised a number. of. times..

I’m not convinced, neither are most experts in this field of research.

Does a condition being considered a mental illness magically make it curable? Was homosexuality curable when it was still classified as a mental disorder? Not that I know of. But feel free to show me a reputable study claiming that is indeed possible to cure pedophilia or paraphilias in general.

I thought I’ve read somewhere that “mental disorder” is a broader term, whereas “mental illness” was mostly referring to conditions that impact general behaviour and functioning. But okay, let’s use them synonymously, in which case it’s still not a severe mental illness that can be cured.

A sexual preference towards men, women, or nonbinary isn’t a mental illness. A sexual preference to children is.

Even if go with this assumption, that doesn’t mean it requires treatment (which is not really possible anyway), let alone forcefully.

You can’t make someone “no longer a pedophile” any more than you can make someone “no longer gay/lesbian/bisexual/[insert any other sexual orientation]”.

treat and rid individuals of the severe mental illness

It’s not a mental illness. If anything, it’s a mental disorder or just a sexual orientation. And when exactly have we ever been able to get rid of a sexual preference? Is conversion therapy your goal? That shit doesn’t work.

You seem to be making a lot of wrong assumptions here. Because just like men in the rapists example, pedophiles overwhelmingly are fit for society and don’t need treatment or rehabilitation in the first place. And for the ones that do feel like they need help, it would actually be better to not shame and stigmatize them to actually give them the chance of trusting someone to talk about it.

Yes, you did make that point, by claiming that “we should remove all pedophiles from society”. I gave you an equivalent example to show you how stupid that is. And you didn’t just “not address it”, you completely spun it around to fit your narrative. That whole point was your emotional knee-jerk reaction, I was simply throwing it back at you.

Jesus fucking Christ, are you just ragebaiting or are you genuinely this bad at comprehending stuff? I am talking about the equivalent of your original point, that being the PREEMPTIVE removal of ALL MEN from society due to the fact that they are the main perpetrators of rape, despite the overwhelming majority of them not being rapists at all.

Is this clear now, or should I send your Mum over to explain it to you?

That wasn’t the point here. You should work on your reading comprehension. Unless you genuinely believe that all men are potential rapists that should preventively be removed from society? In which case I would just give up explaining this to someone who has the mental capacity of a toddler.

You’d agree of course, that pedophiles should be removed from society?

No, I would most definitely not. In the same way that I would not agree that we should remove all men from society just because they make up the majority of rapists.

Is the idea of shaming pedophiles and pedo apologists some kind of line in the sand that shouldn’t be crossed in your eyes?

Yes.

With this line of thinking I’d rather remove you from society

This is not at all comparable to Trump/Epstein. Drew was only pitying pedophiles, not actual rapists This may come as a surprise to you, but there is a very clear difference (one is a choice, the other is not).
