for thousands of years violent meant physical, implicitly. and there were many other words to describe non-physical things that were still hurtful, impactful, and abusive.

there is physical, psychological, verbal, and sexual categories of abuse. there's even non-problematic violence like self defense or a linebacker tackling the running back.

the core of this is simple, people couldnt get others to respect non-physical abuse labels, so verbal abuse got lumped in for effect. there is zero other linguistic reason to expand the definition of violence, and it's clear as day this is an attempt at expansion.

make people respect the effect of bullying, or verbal abuse. dont just call it "violence" because respect for violence is baked in already, because that just results in people respective the word violence less.

i knew this kind of people are sick mind. another proof

In so doing though, it lessens the severity with which marginalized groups are signaling.

There are various states implementing different rules but I just read the one from Tennessee and it says



I'm guessing the concern is that someone who is trans could be considered to be a male or female impersonator doing a performance by simply walking around in public?

I don't know enough about the legal system there to judge how likely that would be to happen and also be successfully prosecuted, I would assume it's unlikely but if not than I think it is a valid criticism.

Sticks & stones you idiot.

It is the concern from within the community that because they [anti-LGBTQ+ people] would be unable to say outright (in a legal sense) that "Transgender people should not be allowed around children", they instead form it as though it only applies to "drag". The issue, outside of the initial debate about whether drag can ever be suitable for children, is that depending on how one views being transgender, an argument can be made a transgender person is "in drag" and subsequently is unsuitable for being around children.

I think words can be quite damaging within a social species.

I disagree. I think we came to respect non physical abuses as more serious than we had previously and adjusted the language to show that
