Did a TEDx Speaker Say Pedophilia Is an ‘Unchangeable Sexual Orientation’?

A TEDx talk broadcast from Germany prompted widespread controversy over the speaker's comments about the nature of pedophilia.

On 5 May 2018, the University of Würzburg in Germany held an event with the theme of “Future Societys” [sic] that featured Mirjam Heine, a medical student who gave what would become a controversial presentation on the subject of “Why our perception of pedophilia has to change.”

In her talk, Heine told the story of a 19-year-old Jonas, a Munich law student who is sexually attracted to girls aged six to 12 years old. “But since he’s aware of the consequences for the children, he has never given in to his sexual drive.” She cited the tenth revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD 10) for the description of pedophilia as the “sexual preference for preadolescent children” and pointed to unspecified research that differentiates between child sexual abusers and pedophiles.

Heine’s most controversial comments rocketed across the Internet when websites ran reports of them under headlines such as “TEDx Speaker: Pedophilia Is an Unchangeable Orientation,” which led some viewers to believe Heine had condoned “an illegal and harmful practice.” Although Heine did make a comment about pedophilia’s being an “unchangeable sexual orientation,” it was offered in a fuller context which we’ve transcribed here:

Let me very clear here. Abusing children is wrong without any doubt. But a pedophile who doesn’t abuse children has done nothing wrong. I want to quickly summarize where we are at the moment. According to current research, pedophilia is an unchangeable sexual orientation, just like for example heterosexuality. No one chooses to be a pedophile. No one can cease being one. The difference between pedophilia and other sexual orientations is that living out this sexual orientation will end in a disaster.

Pedophilia is not defined by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) as a sexual orientation: it is classified as a disorder in the fifth and most current revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM 5). Discussions that attempt to equate pedophilia with sexual orientation have been contentious, primarily because of the false belief that members of the LGBT community are predisposed to child molestation. Those who argue against civil rights for the LGBT community often cast those rights as a slippery slope to legalizing child sexual abuse or bestiality.

TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) did not deny the controversial talk took place, but they noted in a 20 June 2018 statement that TEDx talks are “are organized independently from the main annual TED conference” and that the video had been removed at Heine’s request because “she had serious concerns about her own safety in its wake” and Heine cited “research in ways that are open to serious misinterpretation”:

In the TEDx talk, a speaker described pedophilia as a condition some people are born with, and suggested that if we recognize it as such, we can do more to prevent those people from acting on their instincts.

TEDx events are organized independently from the main annual TED conference, with some 3,500 events held every year in more than 100 countries. Our nonprofit TED organization does not control TEDx events’ content.

This talk and its removal was recently brought to our attention. After reviewing the talk, we believe it cites research in ways that are open to serious misinterpretation. This led some viewers to interpret the talk as an argument in favor of an illegal and harmful practice.

Furthermore, after contacting the organizer to understand why it had been taken down, we learned that the speaker herself requested it be removed from the internet because she had serious concerns about her own safety in its wake.

Our policy is and always has been to remove speakers’ talks when they request we do so. That is why we support this TEDx organizer’s decision to respect this speaker’s wishes and keep the talk offline.

In mid-July 2018, several websites were taken in by a viral hoax that reported pedophiles or “minor-attracted person” (MAPs) were attempting to join the LGBT community and had created their own Pride flag. The flag had in fact been created as part of a troll “experiment” on Tumblr.

It will be incest next and people will fight for it as it is natural, sexual orientation and what not. Degradation of human AF.

I knew it... Somewhere in the article there will be a mention of the LGBT community.

There is such a thing too much tolerance. This went beyond that.

Debauchery over morals

PAS rejoice

its true, its grouped in taboo

now since so many voice can be express so every topic is brought out

its what to be expected with endless possibility of knowledge sharing that we can do today

not a surprising factor

bodo nya.

Soon humans can f*ck whatever/whoever they want

Its true. It cant be changed. Same like LBGT.

This is something that I will never agree with. I do not want a*holes pretending that they have this 'recognised' condition that caused them to become pedo thus ridding themselves of the guilt/wrong.

Well it is true that pedophilia can’t be changed. It’s just whether or not they act on it makes all the difference.

Give her an island and PR to Malusia

I agree. We all know that attraction is not easy to control, you are either attracted to something or you are not, if someone is repulsive to you, can you possibly willpower yourself to be attracted to him?

By that same logic, gays and lesbians always argue that they are attracted to same sex, you can't force them to be attracted to other sex.

By that same logic, pedos are attracted to young kids.

Of course the difference is that gays and lesbians are farking each other consensually as adults, whereas kids are kids and should be protected from predators.

But if we accept that gays are hard wired to like the dick why can't we accept that pedos are hard wired to like little kids, and therefore they should be accepted and helped rather than looked down on and ostracised?

What about those attracted to goats, camels, dogs and cats?

Are we bound to acknowledge their preference as well?

Damn. World is turning on its head...

No one chooses to be a pedophile. No one can cease being one?
......then should just hang all pedo

actually this tedx talk sound like mlm shit to me.

talk cock sing song.

Not everything from Ted talk is real, look at Sam hyde

crzy fk

Lol. When human rules being used as a baseline. Of course it can be change by anyone with enough time.
