If people are trans, and being trans is contagious, then any non deliberately obtuse mind would recognize that the insinuation is that trans people represent a contagious population. Exactly the same way homophobes meant it about queer folk back in the day.

"He never said they're a contagion, just that they ARE contagious and infect others in proximity!" You're not even fooling yourself.

So if I tell you about being trans, and you, as a consequence of hearing about this, resolve to be trans, and this is identified by Singal as an example of the "social contagion" of being trans... Then I don't give a fuck about your assertion to the contrary.

So back in the day, when homophobes said "Gay teachers will make your children gay, they're dangerous!", the audience was supposed to identify that as social contagion rhetoric, which is not bad and totally okay because it "mediates virtually all of human civilization"?

You are not even fooling yourself. You know this rhetoric explicitly equates being gay to a transmissible disease. It was intended to be negative. It was intended to put disincentives in place for gay people existing openly in public. I know you don't believe this was fine.

He didn't "intentionally" do it? What, did he trip and faceplant on his keyboard?
