Radical feminists and anti-racists clearly think of themselves as talking about a disease, though, and not a symptom. Is it the most enlightened usage? Possibly not. But in the name of a sympathetic treatment, I'm trying to retain as much of their self-understanding as possible.
I'm not sure I can distinguish linguistic thought and self-awareness. Indeed, I'm quite certain that when linguistic thought breaks down, such as in mystical experience, so does self-awareness.
