How can pedophilia be disconnected from behavior? Like how?
Theoretically it would be the same as a person not acting on the attraction they feel. The problem is the attraction they're abstaining from is inherently harmful and rightfully met with disgust and should be automatic death. So to many it rightfully means there's no point in trying to offer a humanizing aspect to someone whose inherent nature is to harm the most vulnerable people we have...our children.
