Professor who wrote about adults attracted to minors resigns
[10 News] Remember this freak from this past week?
A university professor in Virginia has announced they'll resign in the wake of threats made over their recently published book.

Allyn Walker, who uses the pronouns they and them, is an assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice at Old Dominion University.

Walker's book includes interviews of more than 40 adults who are sexually attracted to minors.

The book argued that destigmatizing that attraction would allow more people to seek help and ultimately prevent child sexual abuse.
At least it wasn't a pop-up book, Amirite?
Professor Walker is the one who introduced us to the destigmatizing term minor-attracted persons for the traditional Latinate p3dophile.
In a statement, Walker said the research was mischaracterized by some in the media and online and in part because of their transgender identity.

The preface to Walker's book says they were not downplaying sexual abuse against children or trying to normalize it.

Walker was put on leave after reaction to the book led to safety concerns on campus.

Walker will remain on leave until their contract expires in May 2022. minor-attracted persons

#1 Sees itself as a THEY / THEM?
Isn't there mental illness name for that?

#2 Remember this freak from this past week?

Do I have to? I'd rather reflect on things I'm actually thankful for today.

But thanks for the update, Frank. We need to know there's still a shred or two of sanity and justice left. For now...

#3 Why isn't this freak being investigated for possible crimes against children? I'm sure there are some victims out there.

#6 I would not presume to diagnose the professor but they gotta be some kind of nuts. Incarceration in a rubber room might be the best treatment.

#7 Anyone check his computers? The FBI can check, when they're not planting them on someone else's.

#8 Don't fall for it. All that's happening is they're not renewing his contract once it expires. He gets close to six months salary, likely won't be assigned any classes, and he will land at another school.
