What The Fuck Is Woo Goddammit

38. And that's your entire response? That the jargon is not jargon?

No comment on the hundred years of 'science' saying gay people were diseased, not a word about how that might color claims of excellence and of not being harmful? Of course not.
'woo' is a word, but the use you give it is a jargon use, not meaning what the actual word actually means in the wider and official use.
Folks who use jargon do so because they fear the specificity and clarity of a common language.
That sort of jargon helped allow the scientific and medical communities to commit the ignorant atrocities I cited. Vague words created for the moment, used to control and at times to imprison perfectly healthy people.
Woo as you use it is a bit of jargon used in that way only by the community that recently was certain being gay was a disease. I don't blame them for speaking in furtive terms after being shown to be so capable of such storms of horrific stupidity.
It's hard to respect the 'we thought gays were sick' crowd be they in lab coat or collar. Both pushed made up crap as truth.
