> once you establish that it's "defining someone's identity", then disagreement with that person is "denying their right to exist", and so basically violence

Hyperbole doesn't even begin to describe this.

Yes, this is absurd, but I've seen this play out over and over again right in front of my eyes at Google.

Whenever I hear people describe non-physical confrontation as "violence", my only thought is that they have no idea what real violence is.

The tech echo-chamber is fostering unrealistic opinions about life and liberty.
