I’ve been very vocal on YouTube for the past few years as a MAP, and I’m honestly surprised it took this long, but I finally got my account suspended for “child safety” reasons. Their slightly longer reason was: “We have zero tolerance for predatory behavior on YouTube. Content involving the sexualization of minors is not allowed on YouTube.”

I must reiterate that all I’ve done is simply inform people that MAPs don’t deserve to be treated with bigotry, have no more choice in their sexuality than anyone else, and are statistically LESS likely to cause harm compared to teleiophile or peer-attracted people when it comes to CSA.

Now, I rebuild and start over. I did submit an appeal, but even in that I was completely open about who I am and my intentions, so I don’t think it’ll go through. My only regret is not keeping a more up-to-date log of channels and videos that I liked or saved to lists.

UPDATE: As expected, the appeal was denied. MAPs aren’t allowed to advocate for themselves on YouTube (or any major platform, honestly).
