what do their parents have to do with it?

... that's what the study is about

and yes, many many times parents will reject gay children, one of the great things about living in a country filled with religious people who have been taught homosexuals are on the same level as child molesters

the medical community removed the dmental condition tied to trans. It isnt a minority it is not medical fact. And before homosexuality was om the fetish list
It wasnt seen as a mental issue but a fetish.

That was also removed

because its not true

lol

homosexuality isn't a fetish

Actually it is

its a sexual orientation

I mean, technically they're the same thing

it is no more a fetish than heterosexuality is

Its a sexual attractiom

The reliability of the notion that pedophilia is caused by sexual abuse in childhood was explored by examining retrospective self-reports of 344 males. Included in the study were 77 heterosexual pedophiles, 54 homosexual pedophiles, 51 nonpedophilic sex offenders against children, 36 sex offenders against physically mature females, 75 heterosexual paid volunteers who erotically preferred mature females, and 51 homosexual clients who preferred mature males. For each sex offender the differential diagnosis of an erotic preference for minors vs. a preference for physically mature partners was made by means of the phallometric test of erotic gender and age preferences. The analysis of self-reports confirmed that the proportion of pedophiles who report having been sexually abused in childhood by mature persons is larger than that of men who were not charged for or accused of a sex offense against a child though the difference is relatively small (28.6 vs. 13.9 and 10.7% for the heterosexual pedophiles and the two groups of gynephiles, respectively, and 25.9 vs. 11.8% for the homosexual pedophiles and androphiles, respectively). Further analysis demonstrated, however, that pedophiles who admitted having an erotic interest in children significantly more often claimed that they had been sexually abused as children than pedophiles who did not admit having such feelings. This interdependence renders the reliability of these self-reports questionable.

Wrong

Hetero is survival

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2082860

everything sexual outside of natural survival is a fetish

The sample size if they do this again will be much higher

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki Hey, this guy gets it

So sexual abuse has some effect on self reports

And actually I would even say homosexuality not being linked to mental isues is a debatable subject. Seeing as the overwhelming number of lesbians are so post a bad relationship

for pedophiles

@Deleted User lol we're not talking about pedos

Pedo homo

same thing

!!

There are similarities for gay men and child abuse

if you have a preconcieved notion you can make anything look similar.

One could argue the near majority of lesbians are lesbians as a symptom of PTSD

They are over represented in child abuse cases

is that any argument for treating lesbians with any less respect than you would afford to any other human being?

Not claiming causation but that is a fact

As they go through abusive and in some cases violent relationships and come out lesbian om the other side

I do not have to respect anyone

Epidemiological studies find a positive association between childhood maltreatment and same-sex sexuality in adulthood, with lesbians and gay men reporting 1.6 to 4 times greater prevalence of sexual and physical abuse than heterosexuals

especially if they demand it

Its an arguement that they should seek mental help as many of those also partake in other risky behaviors

no but you naturally treat everyone with a default level of respect, you don't spit in everyones faces do you?

no

Respect is earned
