I once thought like you regarding the word 'pedo'

And as for comparing nigger to pedo, you can't since nigger is a slang word made up solely for the purpose of insult, where-as pedo is an actual word that describes the sexual orientation of a post-pubescent person for a pre-pubescent person. But then what about when a 12yo boy is sexually attracted to an 10yo prepubescent girl? Does such make the boy a pedo? I don't really know.

KBA, I'm sorry for the troubles you had.

But tell me something; Do you really think that if we, who are sexually attracted to children, would get any better recognition if we corrected people when they called us a ped by telling them "No Sir, I am a [girl-lover], not a ped"? I'm pretty sure their hatred of us, would go up, if we tried to publicly adopt a term to represent us which outrightly claims we actually love those children who were capable of being sexually attracted to.

Girl-lover is a term that mainstream doesn't even know about. But, KBA, what if they found out about it? What would they do about it when they learned of it? Would they say to themselves "Oh shit, I didn't realize those sexually attracted to children also genuinely loved them too."?

You want girl-lover to be the term that represents us. But trust me - when the mainstream learns of that term, they will begin using it with no less malice than how they use the word pedophile now.

The terms "Tree-jumpers" or "Puffers" (etc.), for a pedophile, is the equivalent of "nigger" for blacks. Not "Pedophile"" for Girl-lovers", as you've proposed. Heck, there isn't even a definition for the term "girl-lover". Girl lover is a vague cheesy private-club term, that means nothing outside of our community.

Does this make sense?
