      If you said some *specific phenomenon* could be attributed to social contagion then yes, you would be saying that

      If I said "People dyeing their hair bright colors is a result of social contagion among schoolchildren" then I would be saying people with brightly colored hair "were a contagion", by any reasonable understanding of that language

      Which would be, in fact, a shitty thing to say But not nearly as consequential a thing to say as saying it about being trans, because hair color is much less central to identity than gender, and because there isn't already a deeply ingrained societal hatred of dyed hair

      And a century's worth of western cultural and political narratives framing LGBTQ+ people as a societal illness or pestilence.

      What is the effective difference between saying trans people are contagion and people are becoming trans is a contagion? Both portray being trans as a sickness on society.

      It literally is what it means, that's what makes it a "social" contagion There's no particles of RNA that constitute the "trans virus" living in your body that make people trans, it's saying you get influenced by other people to do a thing and then become an influencer

          The basic definition of "social contagion" applied to transness is saying "trans people make people trans" The *implication* of the term is that this is a negative outcome to be avoided, and in practice this is obviously how Jesse uses it

          Jesse is absolutely not neutral about the concept of "groups of friends on Tumblr who all go on hormones at the same time", AT ALL
