[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they are born that way though, they can't be faulted for the sexual orientation they were born with. Yet their sexual orientation - which they can't choose or change - hurts others. So how do we acknowledge the struggle they have to have a sexual orientation that they can't change and that they didn't choose but that is socially unacceptable, and hurts others. Is it fair to ask someone to suppress their natural sexuality? how do we deal with this?

I agree it is a difficult issue. But I don't see that there is any choice other than to require them to suppress their natural sexuality - including through chemical castration if necessary.

Some people are born with sicknesses that need to be addressed, even if this requires them to change their personality in fundamental ways.

I don't see any comparison with homosexuality.[/quote]

It is comparable to any sexual orientation. Is it fair to ask someone who is heterosexual or homosexual to suppress their natural sexuality? Are some sexual orientations a sickness and how do we decided which ones? For some acting on your natural sexual attraction is an expression of love and for others it is a crime.

Obviously they can't act on their sexuality as to do so harms others but many would give anything to not be attracted to children - they absolutely hate that that is what they find arousing and that is what they desire and find attractive.

I don't think everyone who molests a child is a pedophile (in terms of sexual orientation). Some abuse out of control/power issues or their own twisted sens of right/wrong based on very dysfunctional lives, others molest while drugged and in an altered state of mind. These to me are very different from men who have always only since an early age (teens) been solely attracted to prepubescent children and only find children arousing. These men were born that way and are tortured by the sexual orientation they have, one they had no choice in.[/quote]
