This is like the skin-coloured band-aid thing again.
If it’s a group of people saying they can help trans kids then it’s “social contagion”, but when it’s a societal norm of hatred and oppression towards trans people pressuring them to stay closeted then hey, that’s nothing to do with society, it’s just the standard default.
