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.

So where's the evidence that trans people are going to make people trans?

Transness doesn't exist outside of trans people. There is no concept of transness that lies distinct from the recognition that transgender is something people ARE. There is no means of "being exposed to" transness without the comprehension of it being a trait in people.

Okay so the social contagion is good then and we should try to encourage it Great If Jesse actually believes that, and will come out and say so in front of all his followers, I have no problem with him
