My overall problems with the article: 1. Implies that the APA is changing pedophilia from a mental disorder based on the recommendations of a symposium. 2. Summarizes that the 1998 APA report discredits any negative impacts of childhood sexual abuse experiences. 3. Implies that because an amendment to Hate Crime legislation to exclude pedophilia from protection failed, it implicitly would allow it. 4. Implies that the White House's praise of the Hate Crime bill was tacit approval of pedophilia. 5. Makes reference to a 2010 piece by Harvard Health Publications that states, "Pedophilia is a sexual orientation and unlikely to change." 6. The IASHS comments. What Larry pointed out (and once I was calmed down a bit, I was able to dig on more) the symposium referenced was ignored by the larger APA body and the APA report was misrepresented as well... leaving out that, "The authors concluded that even though CSA may not result in lifelong, significant harm to all victims, this does not mean it is not morally wrong and indicated that their findings did not imply current moral and legal prohibitions against CSA should be changed."
