toxic legalism

(n.) 

Acquiescence to established norms, especially to written laws, to the point of compromising wellness. Reliance upon impersonal social norms for conveying public-facing needs (i.e., exposed needs) without knowing how effective needs can consequently resolve. This includes law enforcement that aims for social order with little to no regard for how harsh enforcement actually undermines social order, by compromising wellness. 

Toxic legalism includes at least five key elements.

1. Hyper-individualism. Laws tend to hold personal behaviors in check. Which becomes toxic when expecting individuals to adjust to imperfect social environments, and enables problematic social systems to impose and even harm individuals.

2. Hyperrationality. Laws get based upon rational-legal authority, to keep emotional urges in check with reasoned rules. Which turns toxic when spurring emotional dishonesty, such as suppressing emotionally charged needs in the name of staying rational.

3. Overgeneralizing. Laws must be general enough to apply to various situations. Which becomes toxic when neglecting necessary specifics to resolve needs for which laws exist to serve.

4. Avoidance. Laws are kept impersonal to avoid personal favoritism of their creation and enforcement. Which turns toxic when enforcement objectifies individuals as likely violators and deserving of public punishment without getting to know their actual needs propelling their behaviors. 

5. Adversarialism. Laws presume violators are at odds with law abiders. Which becomes toxic when potential to reedress each side's inflexible needs gets squandered, as parties are pitted against each other instead of seeking to mutually understand and honor each other's vulnerable needs.

Such toxic legalism tends to produce dysfunctional outcomes. The adversarial judicial system offers pain relief to the winning side in a court battle, as the contentious poltical system primarily offers pain relief to the winners of a ballot contest. 

This contrasts wtih critical legalism, which mostly produce symfunctional and rarely peakfunctional outcomes. Only need-response prioritizes the proper resolution of needs of all sides in a conflict, to accountably ensure all sides can restore their functional wellbeing and remove cause for their pain—to mutually result in peakfunction.

transconventionality

(n.) 

Prioritizing the proper resolution of inflexible needs for which social norms ostensibly exist to serve, over passive or mindless compliance to such familiar norms without regard for the impacts. Norms are transcended to directly resolve needs properly, to connect directly with people actually need. Which can result in peakfunction outcomes, in sustained wellness.

This exists in contrast to cisconventionality, which prioritizes unquestioned compliance to favored social norms. Insead of settling for symfunction or tolerating dysfunction outcomes common with cisconventionality, transconventionality prioritizes peakfunctional outcomes.

Transconventionality exists akin to Kohlberg's postconventional level of moral development. As cisconventionality exists closer to Kohlberg's conventional and perhaps even preconventional levels of moral development. 

transspirit

(n.) 

Someone who experiences themself as compelled to transcend divisive social norms that compromise potential for peakfunction, for wellness, to connect more deeply with life's full potential. This effectively compels them to not passively comply with divisive social norms, even at the risk of social rejection and ostracization. Transspiritual (adj.); transspirituality (n.).
