The subtle magic of Orwellian definitions.
Scottish Daily Express- Anger as EU project sees Police Scotland rebrand paedophiles as ‘Minor-Attracted People’
Chief Constable Iain Livingstone’s annual year end report refers to child abusers as Minor-Attracted People (MAPs). The move comes amid wider concerns by campaigners over what they see as attempts to rebrand paedophilia as a harmless sexual preference.
A spokesman for the force stressed that MAPs is not a term they routinely use to describe child abusers and said that its use in the report had to be understood in context.

Minor Attracted Person, meet Gun Attracted Person.
Fckn A!
Calling them “people” is offensive to non child raping people everywhere
MAPs are not Minor Attracted People. Call them by their true description, their true psychosis,
Minor Attracted PEDOPHILES.
Steve from rockwood got this one very right!
I can’t imagine what’s next, we must have reached maximum decadence,haven’t we?
Oh not yet.
Loving your sheep and dog is on the menu next.
We have to draw a line somewhere.. Although its not perfect it is 100% clear.. No shallow end in the adult swimming pool.. Even if the kids are messing around in their pool..
Maybe one needs to disband the Scottish police.
It’s not like they care about the minors in this little scenario.
Ottawa: MAP alert! A disbarred Ottawa lawyer and convicted pedo had two ways of preying on children. He was a child-protection lawyer (I am not making this up) and later joined Alcoholics Anonymous:
“Ottawa police say the former lawyer infiltrated Alcoholics Anonymous meetings only to be around members’ children between August and November.”
Never underestimate what a pedo will do to sexually assault children.

Never underestimate what someone with a dull chainsaw can do.
Chief Constable Jimmy Saville there deserves a Glasgow Kiss.
Nonsense like this will continue and escalate until an effort is made to identify the specific individual who made the original recommendation for “minor-attracted.” These euphemisms are sometimes created purposefully…sometimes just out of ignorance and a lack of empathy/sympathy. It matters not. The creation of the term should be out in sunlight so that those who it effects can put pressure on the individual to explain himself/herself. Bureaucracy is not just a generator of inefficiency. It hides those creating that inefficiency.
Instead, you get this EU Horizon Project which is said to be overseen by The Swedish Research Council and Vinnova. The problem here is that the EU Horizon Project holds a budget of $95.5 Billion….while The Swedish Research Council and Vinnova advertise an operating budget of $7.7 Billion. So, who is really overseeing the application of the Horizon Project? Who, specifically, is calling the shots? I think it would be beneficial and enlightening to determine the names of the specific individuals guiding the application of those funds (which focuses primarily on Climate Change, btw) and open up a can of sunlight on them…Until the proverbial “proctology exam” is done of them, they will keep inserting this nonsense into your everyday lives.

In the DSM5 manual, pedophilia DOES mean “Minor-Attracted People”
// Pedophilic Disorder
Diagnostic Criteria 302.2 (F65.4)
A. Over a period of at least 6 months, recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual
urges, or behaviors involving sexual activity with a prepubescent child or children
(generally age 13 years or younger).
B. The individual has acted on these sexual urges, or the sexual urges or fantasies cause
marked distress or interpersonal difficulty.
{…} If…their self-reported and legally
recorded histories indicate that they have never acted on their impulses, then these
individuals have a pedophilic sexual orientation but not pedophilic disorder. //
Pedophilia is not illegal unless one acts on the attraction by sexual contact with prepubescent children
+
The problem is that “pedophilia” has become widened in common use.
This is common for terms with strong emotional effect: antisemitism, genocide etc.
So Epstein for example, is called a pedophile, when was just a powerful male
who was able to indulge his attraction to very young women.
[a phenomenon much wider than pedophilia, approaching universality]
And Elon Musk uses “pedo” as an all-purpose slur.
And Kate has her headline.
SO, the EU seems to have come up with the expression that defines
pedophilia by dropping the label and using the definition directly.
HOWEVER If “the Chief Constable Iain Livingstone’s annual year end report refers to child abusers as Minor-Attracted People (MAPs).”
he is out of order.
A. pedophiles are not necessarily child abusers.
B. Child sexual abusers are not necessarily pedophiles.
I don’t know and don’t care what the DSM5 manual is.
Pedophiles are child rapists. So are paedophiles. You can change the name or the spelling all you want. They are sick people. I am not sure if you are defending them or not. If you are, you are one sick puppy.
I’m mainly just making a couple of distinctions. A lot of disputes are really over what labels are used.
But you might want to read this, which claims [rightly] that there are practical implications:
Why “Pedophile” vs. “Child Rapist” Matters To Prevention

Turn yourself in.
Scottish Police; “Minor attracted people”.
“Oh we don’t normally use that term”.
Usually it is “Comrade”.
Or.
“Member”.
What do I call the MAP’s? Newly gelded neuters

Just another European attempt to rename our kiddie-fiddlers and take away our bendy bananas.
