1. Please write your age and gender (and also your country if you are not based in the United States).

Pass. "Young adult."

2. How long have you known you are sexually attracted to children?

...since somewhere between 2-4 years of age.

3. Was there a decisive moment when you realised you were sexually attracted to children, or was it a more gradual slow realisation? What events affected your realisation?

...just always was, and only being attracted to young children, in that order.

4. Who was the first person you told? When did this happen? How did they respond?

Explicitly, eh...?

...friend of mine, several years ago, he wouldn't stop mouthing off, and he stopped mouthing off...

...we're still on good terms.

5. Are there many people you have told among your family and friends?

A fair number.

6. Who are the most significant people you would like to tell but haven’t?

Nonapplicable.

7. Are there any books or other written material that have been important to you in thinking about your sexuality? (Please list the key ones)

heh... well, the Neelix/Naiomi romance was cute, but I'm not sure about "important"... hmm.

...mostly, just the historical biographies... Gandhi, da Vinci, Buonarotti, Oates... Hamurabi's code, ius ad bellam, t.a.t.u.'s CD... (which involves a funny story, summarized as my ass in tears in the corner while a very heterocentric friend is trying timidly to cover for and protect me as he knows why this strikes a deep nerve...)

...other than that, just off-topic philosophical treatises... the crips/bloods joint restructing plan for Los Angeles, the contraassimilationism in PinkTank's "we will not protect you," 2005... mostly general philosophy.

8. Are there any key individuals who have been important to you? (These might be individuals known personally to you, or role-models you know of)

heh...

...no, but I'm proud to say I've surpassed all the role-models I've seen on TV. :p

9. Thinking about the whole of your time as a person sexually attracted to children, are there any web-sites which have been particularly important to you, positively or negatively?

Umm...

...mostly just the hard practice puttin' in work confronting hate groups on the front lines... positively. It's good practice.

10. Please list the web-sites which are currently most important to you as a MAA.

*.gov

11. Thinking about these sites in particular, please describe what it is about these web-sites which are of most significance to you.

....because that's where people are trying to kill my people.

12. How often do you usually visit these sites? For example, more than once a day, daily, several times a week, at least once a week, several times a month, at least once a month, several times a year, once a year or less?

...betweeen daily and several times a week.

13. Do you yourself ever contribute to these web-sites (eg articles, comments, photos, email discussion, blogs)? In what ways?

There's been some occasional feedback, yes.

...in my other media contributions, unrelated to government operations, it's usually research and education, in both "str8" and "queer" 'net locations.

14. If you do contribute, how often would this usually be? For example, more than once a day, daily, several times a week, at least once a week, several times a month, at least once a month, several times a year, once a year or less?

Varies radically by situation... more than once a day, several times a year.

15. Would you say that these web-sites have had an impact on how you think about yourself personally? For example, are these sites generally reassuring, irrelevant, welcoming, friendly, boring, supportive or disturbing for you?

Well, the government is disturbing, certainly. Aside from that, I find my friends and support IRL, not on the 'web.

16. In your opinion, would you say that these web-sites form an online MAA community? If so, in what ways?

These, no.

17. If you feel there is an online MAA community, can you give specific examples of how this community has helped you personally?

Nope. It's usually managed to slack off entirely when it comes time to actually doing anything, sadly...

...though there was this one young FGL who occasionally took the lead in political work.

18. In your own personal experience, which provides most support for you – an online MAA community, or other forms of support? Please describe.

"Other forms of support." Friends, family and family friends of signifigant other, neighbors, RL community...

19. Have these sites had an impact on how you think about your sexuality? For example, are these sites generally informative, thought-provoking, inspirational or challenging for you?

"Slightly challenging," lol... I've had more impact on what these sites collectively think of the orientations in question than vice versa... both the .gov portals and the g/bl community.

20. Have these sites had an impact on how you think about your politics? If so, in what ways?

I got off my ass, did the research, know where our supporters and adversaries are, who funds them, what our adversaries' interests are, etc.

21. Would you describe yourself as politically active? For example, do you write letters or articles, lobby or make an effort to talk with people about the issue of sexual identity?

Yes... all of the above, and more.

22. Are there other significant ways in which these web-sites have had an impact on your life? If they all closed down tomorrow, would you miss them?

No, but that's because I listed "these web sites" as the government web portals I use on a daily basis for research and action. If they all closed tomorrow, the government would have ceased, and the violence which is so unsupported by the community with it.

23. Is there anything that particularly concerns you about these web-sites at this time?

...the .gov portals frequently declare violatio of the UN Convention on Genocide, which disturbs me.

24. If you had one piece of advice to give to someone who was wondering about their sexual attraction to children, what would it be?

Never, ever, ever accept less than some other status would demand for itself.

Hypocracy is inexcuseable.
