that seems like a massive fucking stretch to say as much

Yes and again.. I assume they are peadophiles attempting to justify themselves

Don't automatically assume someone's a pedo, that's retarded

Oh

Do you think paedophiles should be executed?

I’m not trying to justify pedophilia

They should be chemically-castrated

I’m just of the opinion it’s biological

and lobotomized

Pedos should be super executed

Left handed here, and I hate kids and anyone caught touching them. Correlation≠causation

I'd argue it's partially biological, and partially due to trauma sustained in childhood

waste of food to feed a lobotomized vegetable

@randomNPCno3 that’s not the only thing

That’s just the headline

I’m left handed

Labelle et al. 2012 suggests that heterosexual and homosexual pedophilia are also familial

to an extent

Anyway class is starting here so I need to go

(so there are one or more gay genes, contrary to what LGBT people say)

I wonder if paedophilia is cultural

Yeah, but the headline is cickbaity and causes unnecessary confusion

@Cleric Garrus taking away the lives of people is far less of a punishment than having them spend their lives in confinement

@Snake just remember don’t rape kids

espc as a vegetable

@grazzt Yes, it likely is also a cultural thing, too

Shim et al. 2014 suggests that genetic influences and related genetic vulnerabilities appear to be more important to the causes and development of pedophilia than environmental factors, including childhood abuse.
(in a study of monozygotic male twins with pedophilia)

I'd argue that any genetic connection might show up as a cultural expression

It's more likely that there are a couple of factors that cause pedophilia

-familial connections (IE. if you were molested, you might be more likely to molest)

-genetics

-culture

Repressing trauma and trying to normalize it would do that

Genetics eh?

Yeah, specifically relating to Serotonin and the PGRN and GTS genes (Comings, 1994 and Rainero et al. 2011)

Has there been a study on the connection with the normalization,of transgenderism and its increase

I can imagine that the causes can be quite different between pedo/ephebo/hebephilia too, even though it's often all called pedophilia.
