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.

And referring to the people in that community who exhibit the potential of trans identity as a "social contagion" is not the mark of a trans-inclusive writer.

"Such phenomena" is giving the game away here - if the term really were used completely neutrally then it would describe ALL social phenomena Talking, walking, eating, drinking, having sex
