Because it deals with children.
Adults can consent, children can't.
Other than that, I thought it was okay (and supported and defended) to identify as anything or as any gender or as any race.

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?

The question has become "what can we not identify as?" There is no discernbble end to this madness.

It's irrelevant (to them), there is absolutely zero "support," for this, I have yet to see a single post "supporting," or "defending," this, yet it will not stop folks from telling lies about how people "will," defend this and how awful these people are... and it's all bundled in with identity politics used to smear an entire demographic.
It's ATS, what do you expect? It's an echo chamber, no one is actually defending or supporting this, but certain people will claim otherwise because it's concrete reinforcement of confirmation biases.
Oh well. The people who claim that "Dems will have pedo support on their ticket," are emotionally charged and can't see the forest.

If there are rules as to what you can and cannot define yourself as, then wouldn't that imply that this type of self identification is artificial?
Absolutely. We are at the point in our society where the natural flow of social theoritical frameworks are now being taken and reworked.

Oh course no one on ATS will openly support this. Its about people not on this forum that might.

Not might, do. Google "pedosexual support groups".

What is inexcusable and should be punished is any kind of abuse of another human being.
What is hard to understand about that?
For once, we agree.
But what are unacceptable insanity defenses?
Is Trans-Black still a thing?
You'd think that would be unacceptable, but that Rachel Dolezal made it OK I guess.
Right side of history and all that I suppose.

Any defense is “allowed” to be made. One has to prove their defense is true. Insanity pleas usually require substantiation by medical healthcare professionals. Even if insanity is proven beyond the shadow of a doubt (and I predict this guy won’t be able to, solely based on his photograph), it doesn’t mean the act is now approved or condoned.

Even if he did identify as a nine year old trapped in a mans body... since when do nine year olds have a right to molesting girls of their own age ? Most normal kids aren’t having sexual encounters at that age unless they’ve been coached or enticed through media or by older teenagers or adults.
This is just more ludicrous reasoning by desperate pervs trying to avoid accountability.
