But what are these harms, and how exactly does the speech in question bring them about? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMary Kate McGowan identifies a previously overlooked mechanism by which speech constitutes, rather than merely causes, harm. She argues that speech constitutes harm when it enacts a norm that prescribes that harm.
