I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t fully understand transorientation, but isn’t orientation more additive and less choosing from a variety of options? For example, if your AoA was 7-30 and you’re only into people of the same sex AND also a zoophile, you’d be a non-exclusive gay MAP zoo. The description of your orientation would just keep growing instead of you needing to pick one of those things to call yourself. Again, I might just be misunderstanding things, so forgive me if I’m wrong here.

So, I don’t really understand transorientations… But! As a MAP myself, I can give you tips on how I validate my attraction!

I, personally, really like looking at (sfw/legal) images of children in my AOA! So, I would assume you could try to transition by looking at legal images of children you feel you should be attracted to! Kind of tell yourself the features you do find or want to find attractive!

I’d also surround yourself with MAPs who are accepting of your identity, and talk about children with them!

For future reference you might have a better time getting answers if you cross-post to more communities

If you’re already attracted to nine year olds, you hardly need to do anything. Just keep looking at that kind of art, keep reading those kinds of stories. With respect to attraction, age generally truly is just a number; you are attracted to a particular look, and that’ll slide around on its own as you continue looking at art and reading stories that relate to these themes. One day you’ll look at what you just jizzed to and realize you need to update your AoA because they just drew it that horny. You may come to realize, eventually, that “AoA” is a fake idea forced on us by normies obsessed with Tanner stages.
