The Johns Hopkins University Center is dedicated to preventing child sexual abuse, and to further that mission, it hired Allin Walker, who, ironically, tried to introduce the term “people interested in minors” rather than “pedophiles”, and wrote a book titled: Long dark shadows: people who are attracted to minors and their quest for dignity.
In a video released late last year, Walker explained that throughout his book, he uses the term “youth” or “MAP” when talking about pedophiles, “because I think it’s important to use the terminology that others want for group members of this group. use it.”

The professor added that “MAP advocacy groups” support the use of the term “primarily because it is less stigmatizing than other terms like “pedophile.”
When many people hear the term “pedophile”, they automatically assume it means a sex offender, which is not true. This leads to a lot of misunderstandings about small attractions,” added Walker.
Responding to those who said that the use of a term such as “underage attractiveness” implied that “attractiveness to children is normal”, the professor argued that “the use of a term that refers to someone who likes someone is nothing.” about his obsession. ” that’s the moral of attraction.
In November, Walker resigned from her position at Old Dominion University, saying her research has been “mischaracterized by some in the media and the internet”, in part because she is a transgender biological woman.
“Some in the media and on the Internet misidentified this work, in part because of my trans identity,” Walker said.
