The term queer was originally a pejorative synonym for homosexual or gay. However, it was reclaimed by militants in the early ’90s as an expression of pride and power for the purpose of activism. The change of terminology reflects the attempt to broaden the definition and include other types of non-normative sexuality such as bisexuality, before encompassing anything disruptive of normativity. Queer rejects both the normal and norms, and is not entirely limited to matters of sex, gender, and sexuality.
I'm afraid that where we are now is the logical (and desastrous) conclusion of 50+ years of postmodern deconstructivism, which has led to the normalization and de-tabooization of everything (since there are no more taboos). Pedophilia is something like the last bastion: A society that won't protect its children is truly, utterly lost.
While I'm aware that on any subject we can find outliers to point out as critique (often the foundation of each side's "what-about-ism" which would rather call out others' transgressions than acknowledge their own), you have done more than merely cite a few transient examples of individual fucked-up-edness. The examples you cite were giants in their fields, whose findings directly affected the course of social corrosion we are experiencing to this day. Great job putting just a few of the puzzle pieces together. Unfortunately, those who could be awakened by such information are unlikely to give it the time of day, as it runs contrary to their agenda. Intentional ignorance prevails.
Again another deep dive and well-done essay that explains post-Modernist/Neo-Marxist philosophy. Perhaps English not being your first language is a catalyst to writing easy-to-understand discussions of complex subjects.
Just came across your essay, spot on! Funny enough, I just posted an essay with similar musings about this topic: https://twoplustwo.substack.com/p/child-safeguarding-is-now-an-alt-right-thing

Many thanks for your comment, I will check out your essay.
