This journal entry is the opinion of the author, and not an official position of MEDAL.

Excerpt from a conversation I had with another MAP

Just know that having an orientation doesn’t make you a monster. It doesn’t mean you are destined to act unethically. You explained your feelings for children in your previous email. Don’t let anyone tell you that those are not your feelings, or that your feelings are invalid. They don’t know you, so how can they tell you how you feel?
