You know, I have to get something off my chest. I'm tired of being called a terrible person because I'm pro-c. I'm tired of being lumped in with what a lot of anti-c people think are terrible people. I am not a terrible person and being called a monster just pisses me off.
I'm a caretaker...I don't want to harm people, child or adult. I want to make other people feel good any way I can no matter their age, and I believe that with the right person taking a child under their wing and fostering a loving and caring environment, that a child can indeed be in a relationship with an adult. Children are a lot smarter than most people give them credit for and with the right knowledge are capable of making decisions on their own. Children are curious by nature, it's just how they are. This includes sexual curiosity just as much as anything else.
If a child is a AAM, then there's nothing wrong with them wanting that in their lives. Why should I be told it's wrong when they could just as easily go find someone who's pro-c that wants to harm them? A AAM, in my opinion, would be a lot safer with someone who actually gives two shits about their well being and cares about them. Someone who is loving and supportive.
Does that sound like a monster to you?
In conclusion, I'm a good person. I'm pro-c. I'm not afraid to say it. Anyone is free to disagree with me but I felt this needed to be said. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
