The root of "violence" is "violate", therefore violence does not need to be physical in nature.
"Bullying" is bullying, whether online or off; "bullying" is commission of violence against another for bigotrous reasons.
"Bigotry" is utilization of institutional thinking, and demarkation of a hierarchy based on perceived value of institutions. for instance: historically, rich people have perceived themselves to be "better than" everyone else; "rich people" is one institution and "everyone else" is the other. "men" or "males" is commonly used to refer to an institution rather than to a gender or identity, and that is how you can tell "sexism" from "feminism". {another popular synonym for "bigotry", today, is "elitism".}

-- GooseandClover Broadcasting does not interchange the terms "gender", "identity" and "sexuality" with each other, and "pronouns" are determined by identity and neither of the other two. "pansexual" ≠ "pangender", for instance, and neither does "a-sexual" [for humans].
- objectively, the root of "gender" is "gene". if you're genes say that you're male [regardless what you identify as and regardless who you are or are not attracted to], your gender is male; same for female and hermaphrodite. GooseandClover Broadcasting has invented neither genes nor penises and vaginas; "the doctor" did not, either, and they marked down "male, female or hermaphrodite" not "boy, girl, ...".
- beyond being male, female or hermaphrodite, your "identity" might be man, woman, both, pangender, gender-fluid, etc.
- beyond gender and identity, a person is naturally attracted to or naturally repellent from the kaleidosocope of potential mates available; attraction and repellence determines "sexuality".
