Correct, the op and majority of posts on this thread are classic examples of identity politics.
I'm not so sure about that. The fact that a pedophile is attempting to use his "identity" as an excuse is disconcerting.
No more than a pedophile using any other excuse. Because he's a pedophile, we can assume he's a bit "off".
But ATS has no excuse. This thread is "attempting to use identity as an excuse" to demonize an entire demographic that has nothing to do with that guy.
You are a smart guy. I know you see this.

No they haven't.
Perhaps the LGBT community itself doesn't, but groups like NAMBLA want in on the party.

Guess who owns this?
The guy who molested an 8 year-old? If he said that he was just trying to Make America Great Again would the President and his followers own it? How many "virtue signalling" members of the religious Right have turned out to be sex predators?
Who "owns" that? The Right? Organized religion?

The difference is that no priests or whatever have ever claimed they identified as a child and thus because of that they couldn't help it. Sure that someone else has made you aware of that already. Another issue is WHO is defending any right wing pedo's? No one is.
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. -- KJV, Matthew 18:3

Self identifying is a problem when it is used to get special treatment from the law and that is exactly what left wing self identification is all about and I think you know that but you just have to be the good team player that you always are - endlessly circling the wagon.

Wonder where he got the idea..
Oh..
But in today's world, that wouldn't garner as much sympathy as pretending to be a 9 year old.

What support has this bull# defense garnered? None? So in effect, you're saying it wouldn't have garnered as much sympathy as no sympathy at all?

What "special treatment" are you referring to? Whatever you're imagining, I'm sure it's not anything even remotely close to "the right to molest children."
You want an example of people using their "self-identified" status to ask for "special treatment" to harm others? Let's talk about all those "religious freedom" laws designed to give anyone identifying as "Christian" to discriminate against gay people.
As for the rest, *yawn*.
