Pedophilia != LGBT identities

If someone is truly trying to rid themselves of an attraction to children, they should probably be in therapy.

It is hard to see how your logic would not also apply to people who wish to rid themselves of homosexual attractions, or even heterosexual ones for that matter.

But the data is pretty clear that "conversion therapy" doesn't work and causes harm. Applying it to pedophiles won't change that.

Yes, they should be in therapy for wanting to rid themselves of their attraction. Any sane pedophile would know that's not possible.
