That's not making the claim that the line of questioning is itself violence. It's making the claim that a consequence of the line of questioning is going to be violence against trans people (in an unspecified time and place).
I don't know the context, or how sane the claim is. But I don't think it's an example of what GP said.
- FFRefresh 4y agoBut making it known that the line of questioning will bring violence to others is implying that if the person continues the line of questioning, they are then knowingly and intentionally bringing violence to trans people. In a lot of legal systems and with informal norms, if you know your action will cause harm to others, and you do it anyway, you are considered a cause of the harm. Claims that an action can cause violence are ultimately claims that the action causes violence.
