Do you not believe expression can be violent? That's what this is about. Expression that harms people.

I make a distinction between physical violence and what you refer to as harm.

I do not believe people must be protected from harm in that manner. Words can be hurtful but they do not directly kill of cause injury.

Suppose this very discussion was causing you harm, as you define it, would that make it illegal to even discuss the topic?
