- The False Memory Syndrome Foundation is officially dissolved tomorrow. It was launched 27 years ago, claiming that adults disclosing child sexual abuse were suffering from a “syndrome” of vivid false memories of abuse.
- Reading the "minor attracted persons" scholarship including the repeated claim that paedophiles are no more of a risk to children than any other adult. And apparently it's "stigmatising" to say otherwise. Truly bizarre and alarming stuff being normalised in that literature.
- Can we get a basic agreement from LGBTIQ academics that paedophilia is not "queer"? Thanks.
- How on earth did an academic who wrote papers on "cumming on or possibly even with a child" end up the trustee of a children's charity?You’re unable to view this Post because this account owner limits who can view their Posts. Learn more
- Anne Aly - I knew that I was leaving a violent relationship to lead a life of poverty. And the humiliation of walking into the Centrelink office is still with me 30 years later #QandA
- The term "Minor Attracted Persons" was first coined on the paedophile forum Boychat in 1998 and has been promoted by pro-paedophile groups for a quarter century. It is now being laundered into academic and policy discourse using public and philanthropic funding.Anger as Police Scotland rebrands paedophiles as 'Minor-Attracted People' scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/scottish-…
- If I tweet anything about men’s health, I never get responses from women saying they feel excluded or insulted. Tweet about women’s health, however ...
- In 2019, Twitter quietly changed its terms of service to permit discussion about "attraction towards minors" with the proviso that "they don’t promote or glorify child sexual exploitation in any way". help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-p…
- Replying to @mike_salterWe've reached a tipping point where those academics are now intersecting with child welfare and child protection issues, and it's an entirely predictable disaster. Child safeguarding is fundamentally about boundaries, queer theory is about the dissolution of boundaries.
- A huge milestone this week for child sexual abuse survivors - South Australian law will no longer refer to the abuse of a child as a “relationship”, thanks to Grace’s tireless campaigning.
- The term "minor attracted" (instead of "paedophile") was coined on Boychat in the late 1990s. Boychat is a site for men who want to sexually abuse boys. It was then picked up by a number of pro-paedophile groups in the 2000s (some anti-contact, some pro-contact).
- Media release from the Grace Tame Foundation: Sexual abuse occurs in all communities and Peter Dutton has wrongly singled out First Nations peoples. Child sexual abuse should never be politicised.
- We have to start talking about child sexual abuse as a pattern of control comparable to domestic violence, rather than just a sequence of sexual acts. Otherwise we miss the fundamental dynamics of abuse between victim and perpetrator, and the subsequent impacts on the victim.
