My TRA friend: "JK Rowling's speech is on the same spectrum as the murder of Transwomen"

What does your friend mean by "on the same spectrum as" here? Spectrum of what? Verbs?

Both speaking and committing murder are actions, so I could they are on the same spectrum in that sense. But then every other action is on that spectrum too. Your friend could just as easily have said JKR breathing, eating, driving, sleeping, typing, are all on the same spectrum as killing transwomen, and it would have made just as much sense.
