In the last few minutes, another baby was born who around the year 2035 will discover they have a sexual attraction to young kids. They won't know why.

By 2035, will there be sex ed in schools that acknowledges this person's situation and offers them blame-free support? 🧵↘️
↘️ By 2035, will it be safe for this kid to tell someone about this attraction?

By 2035, will there be a strong community of professionals that can support this kid to cope and, if need be, to avoid starting any path to offending? ↘️
↘️ By 2035, will science understand what makes the difference between this kid becoming an offender and avoiding it?

Will this knowledge inform their treatment?

In 2035, will it be possible for this kid not to have to keep this a secret for decades? ↘️
↘️ What progress are we making now, here in the twenties on ensuring these questions will have a hopeful answer in 2035 for the child that was born ten minutes ago when I started this thread, and the others that were born while I finished it? ↘️
↘️ Neurologists, psychologists, counsellors, child protection charities, politicians, MAP community.

We have 14 years to get useful help to this child and their currently relieved, overwhelmed, lovestruck parents.

Let's keep going. Let's try to be there in time for them. ⏹️
