I agree with that. It seemed you were saying the law made a distinction between child rapists who aren't pedophiles and those who are. Obviously, there is no such thing as a thought crime. Pedophiles who never commit any crimes are harmless. I still believe that committing a sexual act on a child takes a sexual attraction, no matter how deviant, and makes you a pedophile. That doesn't demonize pedophiles. That's like saying if men who rape other men are called homosexuals, it demonizes homosexuals.
That certainly does demonize homosexuals and I doubt they would like that too much. To clarify though, I don't think demonizing pedos should actually be against the rules of the forum. It should be allowed. Pedophile is both a medical and slang term, and slang is acceptable on the forum.
