…The Links Which Follow

…The Links Which Follow Most of the links which follow in the “About Steve Diamond” section, are here for the benefit of those not familiar with me. As stated elsewhere…A lot of people tend to fixate on one, singular aspect about me…my sexual orientation. This makes for a bad atmosphere, in which to effectively communicate and discuss issues. I offer a number of these pages, in hopes that I can explain a few things…maybe put a few minds at ease…I’ve never previously gone this far in depth, just putting this explicitly out there…But I thought it might at least stop some people, from falsely accusing me of any number of things. I am not going to call my sexual orientation a small thing, because it clearly is not…and finding myself at odds with a hostile world over this, has made a deep impact on me…At times, this conflict has been excruciating, infuriating…it has caused me so much pain and suffering, that I really don’t mind taking off the gloves and throwing punches right back at it… My sexual orientation is a big deal…But it is also something, which I have lived with from my very earliest memories…It is something, I explicitly understand…It has never even once, caused me to be sexually violent towards another…I do not know life any other way…I do not want to live, with any other sexual orientation…I genuinely love this sexual orientation…One of the single most honest things I could ever say about this orientation, is that there is no valid reason to fear it…Whatever phobias exist surrounding people like me, are the phantoms made up in other people’s thoughts, egged on by rare instances of extreme cases involving pedophiles. Sexual violence against children, overwhelmingly is falsely attributed to “pedophiles”…Statistically, a child is overwhelmingly more likely to be raped by their own parents, relatives and hand picked caregivers, than by a pedophile…Cases of violent sexual assault on children, are virtually never committed by pedophiles…That is the domain of parents, step-parents and the boyfriends and girlfriends of parents…It can also happen amongst age mates, siblings, slightly older young people… It may be difficult for most people to wrap their minds around what I am about to say, but having been around as long as I have and having seen this reaffirmed multiple times by authoritative sources…I am confident in stating, statistically, pedophiles do not rape or violently assault children [except to a very tiny and rare degree]…Nearly all cases of child rape, are perpetuated by simple opportunistic rapists…Or in other words, people who are not sexually oriented towards children [they’d prefer an adult], but who are simply looking for someone to rape, and a child happened to cross their paths [be in the household, etc, etc.]…There is a term which was invented within the legal system, to refer to these kinds of people…”situational pedophile”…and it falsely associates them with pedophilia, even if only in name and not by deeper definition [which few people likely even realize]. In short summary of this…Calling all the child rape and sexual assault in this world “a pedophile problem”, is literally doing nothing more than “throwing your own garbage, into my backyard”…People who are pointing the fingers, and blaming pedophiles…You need to look in the mirror, because it is factually people just like you who are behind the true momentum of child sexual assault [amongst various other forms of assault and abuse, against children]… …It is not people like me, who are raping and abusing children…I’ve had, and kept, my own sexual and personal conduct in order all along, thank you very much… Let’s get our heads into reality, here… …It is other people, who are doing things like that to children…And again, they are people like you…They are your kind…your class…your neighbors…your households…They are you so called “normals”… There are reasons why a pedosexual like myself is not rotting in a prison cell somewhere, but instead has managed a fifteen year run on the internet…None of this would have even been possible, if I were abusing and raping children…I have a standard of sexual ethics and conduct, which could just about rival that of any nun. I’ve been on this planet for several decades now…And my track record…the way I live, speaks for itself…My conscience is clear… This may be a big part of who I am…and the fight I’ve been pulled into over it, by people who don’t understand pedosexuals, may have even blown this way up and turned it into a much larger part of my life… …But it still remains, just one part of my life…just one part of who I am… And no…this part of who I am is not in conflict, with other things like human rights advocacy [which I do engage in]…If you are even the slightest bit honest, and you understand just what I as a pedosexual am about…then you will clearly know, that my orientation fits hand-in-hand with fighting for human rights [and especially children’s rights]… There is nothing in the entire world more natural, than a Child Lover fighting for the rights of children. The incite of pedosexuals, holds a very deep understanding on just why human rights are so vital and necessary…Because we pedosexuals are deprived of our own human rights, and know what it is like having to live in this dysfunctional world, which denies us our human rights. People like me, are not the ones you should be fearing…I discovered who I really am, and came to terms with it decades ago…I worked my way through the social propaganda system, rose above it and was strong enough to reject internalizing it…or ever identifying, with the endless barrage of horrific things which people mindlessly claim about pedosexuals… …Who you need to be fearing, is the people pushing this social propaganda system…Because they are the ones behind creating a social atmosphere, which isolates pedosexuals and relentlessly conditions them to think and act in certain ways…ways which can cause that pedosexual to go astray, because that is likely the only way they’ve ever been taught to think about themselves…Pedosexuals who do not resist this mental conditioning, often internalize it…and come to believe it. Human dignity and self worth, are important to combating this…And this is why I’ve striven to be positive, and fought for a positive representation of pedosexuals. If you are unfamiliar with my point of view, then let me just close with this… …It is extremely likely, that everything you “know about pedophiles”…is lies, damned lies, rotten lies, dirty lies, filthy lies, malicious lies and inhumane lies…perpetuated by people living with an extreme sexual phobia, and/or who find it profitable to exploit pedosexuals for their own personal, social and political gain. Pedosexuals are human, and we are not perfect…But the extremes which we suffer today, and the almost universal dishonesty with which we are treated, have made it clear that pedosexuals are victims of politics and social agendas gone horribly wrong. – Steve Diamond
