But judging by the reactions, I don’t think anyone is really even willing to consider the perfectly reasonable possibility that Trident is putting forth: that these two completely different phenomena could both be the result of the physical wiring of someone’s brain.

It’s a bad analogy. It’d be better to compare it to people with a desire to torture or hurt people or something like that.

It’s a perfectly fine analogy while yours is so far off the mark you’re shooting backwards. A pedophile can be sadistic, sure. But so can anyone else be. The one I talk to has a deep love for kids. He’d die defending them. He’d be the last one to want to hurt any of them. He fundraises to send money to kids overseas because he tells me this is the only way he can both help kids and stay away from them at the same time. For him it’s a love-affair.

Yes it’s uncomfortable for some of us to think about? But it doesn’t help allowing prejudices to still stay in front instead of looking at what really is the case here.

I mean the big problem through all our history seems to have been when people are too bigoted to talk about things in a rational way. Why are some things not allowed to be talked about? Who says these links can’t be made if they make sense? Who makes those choices for the rest of us?
