MEDAL

MEDAL (minorattracted.org, f. 2023) is a third-generation/third-wave MAP organization with a primarily US focus.

It was set up by Katie Cruz and a committee, according to a list-style ethos:

• Build the MAP community, including reaching MAPs who are unaware of the community.
• Achieve protected class status.
• Access to compassionate, empathetic mental healthcare.
• Access to legal services.
• Remove “pedophilic disorder” from the DSM and ICD.
• Social justice – differentiating between rape/assault/coercion/violent crimes and statutory crimes.
• Social justice for minor MAPs, and those close in age.
• Ban conversion therapy.
• Meet the physiological needs of MAPs facing injustice/discrimination.
• High-quality factual MAP media for public consumption.
• Continued honest research into the various aspects of minor-attraction.
• Improved sex education that also talks about minor attractions.
• Legalization of all fictional sexual outlets, including loli/shota and dolls.
• Social Justice – reform the sex offender registry.
• Combat false accusations, doxing, and myths of stranger danger.
• Defeat the stigma
• A credible organization to speak on and represent these goals to the public.

MEDAL includes both neutral-c and anti-contact members who participate in a range of initiatives online and in their local communities.
