      "Is a social contagion" and "is caused by a social contagion" aren't semantically distinct at all To any normal person it's the exact same fucking thinghttps://twitter.com/IdiotTracker/status/1375201256017301510 …

      Just to review: Jessie Signal never referred to trans people as a "contagion." That was a lie. Jessie Signal never called for your article to be withdrawn. Also a lie. Lying in print, if they didn't cover this in the course of your English degree, is bad. Please don't.

      For anything that people aren't trying to stamp out as a disease they just don't use the word "contagion" No one has ever used the term "social contagion" for deciding to go to college or have kids because your friends are doing it

      saying something can be influenced by social contagion doesnt make it some horrible disease, or even a bad thing

      social contagion is literally the social science term. This is like when people dishonesty use the term "Theory" in the sciences to attack evolution

      I have NEVER heard anyone calling transitioning, or anything else, a ‘social contagion’ who did not very obviously think that it was a bad thing.

      I mean anyone who's trying to argue the use of the term is "standard" and non-controversial is plainly incorrect If you look the term up on Wikipedia you'll see a whole "criticism" section

      For the vast majority of the history of the term "social contagion" it has been used pejoratively to describe harmful behaviors that seem to have no "rational" basis It's frequently been used in conjunction with words like "mania" or "hysteria"

          People have deliberately tried to start doing this to destigmatize the term (there's some study about how "caring about global warming" is a "social contagion") but it's an obvious uphill climb

          The only sexuality/orientation/wtfever for which we have absolute proof that social contagion is an important factor is heterosexuality. Generations of people thought they had to be straight because everyone they knew was (as far as they knew).

          Plus, adults told you that anyone who wasn't heterosexual was creepy and perverted. You didn't feel like you were creepy and perverted so you must be heterosexual. It seemed so clear, even if your urges didn't quite fit the narrative.
