No it can't. A sexuality describes what sex a person is attracted to; Hetero = opposite, Homo=same etc.
Child is not a sex.
The international consensus is that Pedophilia is a mental disorder.
@garlog Yes, I meant gender. As for defining child as a gender you can take that up with the entire body of science who will disagree with you. Thing about gender or biological sex is they're pretty well defined. Child is a state of maturity and often defined legally as a range of age. Pedophilia is defined as Pedophilic Disorder by ICD-11, the eleventh revision of the International Classification of Diseases.
>he still thinks science is in charge of things like definitions of words
You're a funny man, karl.
Also I don't think "child" is a gender, I just doubt the existence of a limiting factor in current discourse about gender that would prevent "child" from being considered a gender, should people decide to move in that direction.
I think it's admirably how valiantly established facts and definitions are thrown aside for, undoubtedly much more solid, stuff I got in my head that fits them ideas I've gots and whatnot.
