Yeah, that’s why I was careful to specify “active” pedophiles. Being a pedophile would be a fucking curse that I wouldn’t wish upon anyone, because you can’t just stop being attracted to someone. All you can do is choose whether or not to act on it.
I still wouldn’t want them around my kids, but at least an inactive pedophile deserves support to be able to get professional help. But even that strays very close to things like gay conversion therapy, which is pretty unanimously known by studies to be entirely ineffective and just plain harmful. At most, therapy would likely just focus on helping them come to terms with celibacy.
