But this isn't what the Ancient Greeks supported. Greek pederasty (and Persian and Japanese too) meant an older mentor schooling and in some cases having a romantic-sexual relationship with a young boy where both would be from the elite classes of society.
It did not involve:
-widespread support for modern LGBT like thinking
-gender bending (the boy is to become a man)/traps
-chosen and easily broken relationships that could spread disease rather than highly structured ones
What you have here is much closer to the Pashtun culture of bacha bazi where there is no mentor relationship (no "grooming" ironically enough), and the boy is treated as feminine. Obviously soft effeminate boys are more attractive, but the Greeks would have considered the concept of a "trap" to be corruptive and philosophers wouldn't have been able to argue for pederastic relationships if it meant girlifying boys who are to be raised into warriors.
