AMA: Being an Out, Public MAP
I was recently asked a few questions… 1. How did I get comfortable being a public MAP? Years of being in the MAP community. Years of philosophy. I know who I am, and I know what I’m not. No one can take that away from me. 2. What’s it like being out and a public
Love is Colorful
Love is love, and having feelings doesn’t make one a monster. The law was written in black and white. But love is colorful. We can’t condone breaking the law, but the law isn’t always the arbiter of what is ethical. Your feelings are not a flaw. The flaw is society’s reaction to your feelings.
Mu’s “VERY Important 2025 Principles”
A novel activist group and forum known as “MAP Union” has published a list of “VERY Important 2025 Principles,” which they propose as a guide for activism efforts. Improving Visibility of MAPs and AAMs (Adult-Attracted Minors) in society. Combat stigma and misinformation concerning these groups. Promote an accuracy and evidence-based approach to correcting misconceptions. Safe/value-neutral language used to
No one can tell you how you feel.
Excerpt from a conversation I had with another MAP Just know that having an orientation doesn’t make you a monster. It doesn’t mean you are destined to act unethically. You explained your feelings for children in your previous email. Don’t let anyone tell you that those are not your feelings, or that your feelings are

Re: Reduxx, The DSM, Orientation or Interest
Lol. I’m famous. Or is that notorious? They target me, because I’m the Queenpin. A far-right, TERF site known as Reduxx recently published an article on me (while also misgendering me and linking me to someone else). One thing that stood out is how they decided to edit the screenshot of the DSM that I
MAP Merch Shop extended outage
Edit: Original Post: Today, I got an email from one of my distributors, stating they have placed a few orders on hold due to content violations. I’ve started the appeals process, but I’m not holding out much hope. In the meantime, I’ve put MAP Merch Shop in Maintenance Mode, while we evaluate our logistics and
Supporting innocent children of war ≠ supporting genocide!
I can’t believe I even have to say this. Apparently, some of you have been taking words of my blog posts, and twisting it to fit your narrative. Re: How can such evil exist? People on the fediverse have the audacity to say that I support Israel’s genocide in Gaza. What the actual fuck? I
Complacency…
I have a natural disposition for clinical depression. I think it has something to do with my ADD. I get bored. I’m creatively understimulated. There’s all these things that I want to do, yet for whatever reason, I’m unable to. Whether it’s lack of money, health issues, lack of connections, where I reside, or simply
Seeking Volunteer Content Curator for The Mirror Project
The Mirror Project was created to archive and preserve MAP history. Unfortunately, I’m involved in so many projects, and haven’t had much time to devote toward adding content. I am seeking a volunteer to help procure content for The Mirror Project. You would be tasked with: Finding notable MAP-related content on the internet If necessary, obtaining required permissions from the
Trans Rights are Human Rights
I recently received an unsolicited message asking if I would like to be interviewed about being a minor-attracted person. This would be a great opportunity to share my experience and insight into being a MAP, with an audience that is not generally supportive of MAPs. When vetting the interviewer, it became clear that their site
On Uvalde…
On May 24, 2022, nineteen children, and two adults were brutally murdered by a heavily armed gunman at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas. Local law enforcement arrived within three minutes of the gunman entering the school. Hundreds of law enforcement officers responded to the shooting, yet they stood outside the classroom doing nothing for 77
How dare you…
Since when is it ok to harass people for experiencing grief? Even if the grief seems to be extended and unreasonable to you, it’s not to the person experiencing it. Reminiscing, and crying, over the loss of a relationship is not bragging. It’s part of the healing process. When a loved one is taken out
I need to take a break…
I need to take a break from the MAP Community. My mental health never completely recovered from the stressful events of last February and last summer. I’ve always been depressed, and anxious, but over the last few months I’ve become vengeful, chaotic, and numb. In the past month, I’ve hurt people who are close to
The Philosophy Behind Contact Stances.
Before 2012, there was no widespread identification with or discussion of contact stances. We were all just MAPs, and for the most part, we all got along. Then in 2012, a group of MAPs who were affiliated with B4U-ACT broke away from the organization, to start a new organization called Virtuous Pedophiles. This is often
Simple list of what the MAP community should be striving for
Over the years, many people in various MAP spaces have written long, detailed, papers and proclamations of what we should be striving for. While those are great to give us a foundation to base our activism on, many don’t have the attention span to read these long proclamations. So I’m making a simple list of
I Stand With Children campaign
With all the negativity in this world that affects children, I feel so powerless to change anything. That’s why I’ve started the “I Stand With Children” campaign. I was originally inspired to do this because of the war between Israel and Hamas, and all the innocent people caught in the crossfire… I can’t take sides,
Children’s Charity?
I shared the poll about youth charities with a few MAP sites I frequent and got a lot of mixed reaction. I have received a few votes for organizations. I also received some negative feedback about these organizations, saying they’re anti-MAP (claims I haven’t verified). A few people are suggesting non-children’s charities. I had one
Which youth charities would you like to donate to?
This poll is market research for potential future activism campaigns. It is a non-scientific poll.
