The term "social contagion" is very obviously a pejorative term in practice and has been for the vast majority of the history of its use Anyone who denies that is lying

One suspects if people started calling Singal's "philosophies" and ideologies a social contagion, implying it is a harmful disease in the fabric of society, he'd start being a pissier, more hypocritical little toad than usual.

I actually strongly believe that TERFism is a social contagion and I'd be happy to write a paper about it and I doubt these people would be all sanguine about it if I did

When you define something that someone thinks of as intrinsic to their identity as a "contagion" that's what "calling the person a contagion" means In fact it couldn't possibly mean anything else, it's the ONLY WAY to "call a person a contagion"

"I didn't say gender identity is a contagion, I just said that it's kind of a contagion"

Every iteration of TERF logic trying to defend Singal: "He didn't say it's a contagion, he said it's the result of a contagion.."pic.twitter.com/QCf6QZlGvf

I don't even know why we're having this stupid hairsplitting semantic argument Regardless of the words he used, Jesse talked to parents who took away their kid's phone and forbade him from talking to his friends to stop him transitioning, and thought they were good parents

In practice, on the object level, he clearly does think of being trans as a tragic outcome (a "disorder") that parents have every right to try to prevent for their kids if possible, and thinks that controlling their social interactions is a justifiable strategy for doing so

Also cause, y'know, he plays active and continuing defense for conversion therapy. So that's a thing.
