Yes, and we should really be using much more direct and affecting terms like "child rapist" and "child sex trafficker" to describe people like the president. It's less euphemistic. Calling a person who has raped children a "pedophile" seems like minimization to me.

Absolutely. We dont call regular rapists "heterosexuals"
