Of course, it isn't offensive to point out that sad fact and you just have done so.

But nobody else has, so why refer to it?

Akenaton stated when it was a perversion, not when it was considered. But you know the distinction, you just can't bring yourself to say so.

If being considered makes it a fact, then the earth really was flat, it really did take seven days to make the universe. Shouting at an eclipse really did make it go away. Water really was an element. Sailing West from Spain took you to India as the first landfall. WW1 soldiers were well led. Fertility rituals worked. You were safe from lightning sheltering in a church with your gunpowder.

It is offensive to say people were perverts when they weren't. It is not offensive to lament that it used to be acceptable in our lifetime to judge people for being themselves. .
Your play on words doesn't impress. Neither does your mealy mouthed refusal to condemn.
