I so hate that, words are violence - is such a ridiculous concept but now countries are designing laws for it. 5 mins ago we had "sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me"
"Words are violence" is a concept that can only exist when the demand for violence vastly outstrips the supply. If violence was as plentiful and common as they say it is, there wouldn't be people crying about words. Simple market assessment, they're using a substitute product.
No one in an active slave-ring bloodsport knife fight is saying "by refusing to say my pronouns, you're literally murdering me".
So if anything, we should congratulate them on their peace-privilege any time they say something like that.
