Just so you know "groomer" in its current use started with referring to gender affirmation for trans kids and is extremely transphobic to use for that reason. If you mean "pedophile" you should just say "pedophile"

grooming was first coined in the 1980s and historically has always referred to “specific nonviolent techniques used by some child molesters to gain access to and control of their child victims.” If you think it has ANYTHING to do with gender affirming care for trans children you have been lied to by the exact people who want you to assosciate those terms.
also on a technical level, a pedophile is any person who has sexual interest in children. not all have engaged in grooming, so it wouldn’t be an approrpiate label. though both are crimes. obviously.
