Is normalization of pedophilia inevitable?

Some people argue that because homosexuality has been normalized, pedophilia is “right around the corner”. That accepting one fringe sexuality means that others are not far from being accepted themselves.

But this also raises other questions: what does normalization of pedophilia entail? Does separating pedophilic attraction from action “normalize” it? Can pedophiles change their attraction? Should they be seen as “sick” or “evil”? (Or both?)
