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

Okay and he views it neutrally right? He thinks that being "infected by social contagion" may just mean learning certain language for describing true, real things about oneself that makes one more fulfilled and happier in the end? He doesn't see it as a bad thing?

Because if he did he'd certainly see parents trying to restrict a kid's access to information and cut them off from their social network as abusive, right? It's by definition an abusive thing to do to someone unless the thing you're trying to stop is pretty fucking bad
