This is an article today in the biggest Belgian newspaper. For those of you who do not Goedele Liekens, she is our most famous sexologist and has had multiple tv shows. She is a very respected person both in the Belgian and the British social-sciences community. She says that about 1-3% of people are pedophiles and should be allowed to out themselves.
Full translation of the article:
"More attention has to be give to men walking around with pedophile thoughts. This says Goedele Liekens in the VRT-show (national tv station) 'Van Gils & Gasten'."
"One to three percent of men is pedophile or has likewise fantasies", Liekens says. "That is quite a lot. But only 0.25% also acts on the fantasy'. (note: unsure if she means 0.25% of all men or 0.25% of pedophiles).
"Pedophiles do not always become pedosexual (it's a thing now!), so we have to talk more about it and shouldn't judge them straight away. By talking about it, it is easier to accept their feelings en do something about them. Being pedophile is a sexual orientation, not a disease."
UPDATE:
The comment section of the site allows people to express their thoughts about the article. In the past 5 minutes already 11 people replied. About 8 of them find it sick, with most of them saying "it's terrifying how nowadays we just have to accept all mental diseases like they're something normal."
3 people so far have agreed with her that it is a sexual orientation and that pedophiles shouldn't be judged.
