Abstract
<jats:p>This note presents our response to commentary critical of our paper “A Review of Academic Use of the Term ‘Minor Attracted Persons’.” We observe that this commentary does not engage with our primary argument, conclusions, or recommendations. The authors failed to consult the supplementary material published alongside our article, failed to consider our inclusion and exclusion criteria, and spuriously accused us of underlying bias and a secret agenda. Our core criticisms of scholarship on “minor attracted people” have been left unanswered by their commentary.</jats:p>
