The tweet in question is specifically referring to verbal expressions, yes? It doesn’t reference public policy, or people’s actions, or even people’s actual convictions. It just seems to be taking umbrage at the fact that people don’t add a disclaimer to whatever they say for whoever might not fit the norm. I can see how that would be irritating, sure. But to say it’s “harmful” just dilutes the way we conceptualize harm.
