Yet, strangely when homosexuals are in the same position they're ostracized, but not pedophiles.
Either way I think it would be worth having scientific research going into the direction of helping people avoid unwanted sexual desires instead of telling them that the only way they'll ever be happy is if they embrace it. Right now the whole religious "ex-gay" thing is a total joke and doesn't work, but still, that doesn't mean the idea should be rejected outright.

The entire scientific field is having trouble with it, it's an active field of development and it is poorly understood. You realise that the DSM didn't descend from heaven on a ray of light, right? Nor did the AMA. Both used to classify homosexuality as a mental disorder, but that changed. Now why do you think that happened? What is the fundamental difference between regular sexualities and socially unacceptable paraphilias like pedophilia (PS there's something like 200 recorded paraphilias, this is just one)?
If you can answer that question conclusively, I encourage you to apply for a Nobel Prize.

Now what if I tell you that by one estimate at least, 1 in 35 men has pedophilic tendencies?

Okay smart guy. I immediately consult a psychologist, psychiatrist, a pastor, and God himself. I would do my best to purge these thoughts from my head.
What I would NOT do: I would not accept this as perfectly normal "you love who you love" bullshit. I certainly would not write blogs to the world about how they should accept me because I embrace who I am and cannot change while spending all my free time jacking it to elementary school yearbooks.

one reason homosexuality isn't harmful it doesn't cause a dysfunction to one self or acting on it. pedophilia does
"A mental disorder is a syndrome characterized by clinically significant disturbance in an individual's cognition, emotion regulation, or behavior that reflects a dysfunction in the psychological, biological, or developmental processes underlying mental functioning. Mental disorders are usually associated with significant distress in social, occupational, or other important activities. An expectable or culturally approved response to a common stressor or loss, such as the death of a loved one, is not a mental disorder. Socially deviant behavior (e.g., political, religious, or sexual) and conflicts that are primarily between the individual and society are not mental disorders unless the deviance or conflict results from a dysfunction in the individual, as described above."

I agree acceptance is the second step in a long process for it to eventually becoming normalized
It starts with empathy we shouldn't demonize pedophilias they cant help it they was born that way. then comes acceptance we shouldn't discriminate against pedophiles they cant help it. then comes force acceptance your a pedophobe if you don't accept pedophilia
Doesn't change the fact that is still a mental disorder and it adversely affects children. You want to wear tight leather ass-less chaps while 3 women with dildoes cornholes your butthole while a midget tickles your balls? Go for it. Everyone there is a consenting adults. When it's a child, WHO CAN"T CONSENT, it's sick and shouldn't be tolerated. I feel no pity for pedophiles and the sooner they are identified and segregated away from the rest of society, the better. Not every mental disorder deserves to be treated with empathy and understanding. Pedophilia is wrong, do not try and defend it.

And somewhere in between you realizing you have those feelings and you "purging yourself" of all those thoughts you meet reality. A society that even though you're doing your damndest to control those urges, haven't and don't want to harm anyone, are still treated like a vile piece of shit despite doing the right thing as best you can.
No one wants to accept or applaud the shitheads who actually do rape or get off and brag about their fantasy. The problem is though that because of people like you and attitudes like you the handful that actually do go "Dear God this is wrong I need help" are basically forced to live in a closest too ashamed and scared to seek even professional help(which quite frequently is just as bad and harsh in their treatment) putting them in a position where they eventually let their urges get the best of them and rape some kid. You're basically the exact type of person that would have given your hypothetical pedo self so much shit they would've been too afraid to get help from any of the options you suggested and been far more likely to abuse a kid than kill yourself before that happened.

I have the opposite perspective I believe pedophiles knowing they will be demonized labeled the lowest of the low monsters if they ever act on their pedophilia keeps many from doing so
once we start showing them empathy they cant help it they was born that way they will stop thinking they will be hated by society if they act. it would be one less obstruction from them acting on their pedophilia

If you are particularly bold, you could use a Shiny Ditto. Do keep in mind though, this will infuriate your opponents due to Ditto's beauty. Please do not use Shiny Ditto. You have been warned.
so some distasteful subjects in op-ed blog is receives the "sjw is vileness" tag.
do you ever take a step back and wonder about yourself?
Interesting fact: There's no such thing as a "thought crime". Anyone can think anything they want and there's nothing anyone else can do about it.
Not a fact, but nonetheless true: People who disagree with the aforementioned fact should be throat-punched on principle.
