but that it's okay, in fact it is his "right", to address someone as he and him and his, who does not feel themselves to be a man - SBF
Which is a total misrepresentation of his position. As usual you are attacking a straw man.
Peterson has stated that he has no problem calling a transgender person by he or she.
i just wanted to add my name to the many number of people who have awakened from the cult.
i have been lurking for probably 2 years now.
and i'm quite certain there are many more lurking and reading just like me.. i have to be honest and say that i most likely will not be contributing much to the discussion board.
Welcome Lancashirelass. We had a few Lancastrians in Berwick including the PO.

I'm also intrigued by Cofty's refusal to use Ms: are there others that find this unacceptable? - Scotsman
I did not say that I refuse to use Ms. I said - "I have never referred to anybody as Ms in my life, I have also never referred to a man as Mx and never will."
I have never been asked to refer to somebody as Ms. I'm amused that you would presume to declare my opinions on anything "unacceptable".

I expect the majority of those people also want to be either a he or a she. - Simon
That is exactly what transgender people are saying about this issue. The 0.3% who have gender dysphoria want to be accepted as male or female. We should of course accommodate that
The far bigger group who flounce around demanding to be called Zi etc are poseurs. Their position is based on the nonsense that gender is a social construct and they can choose from an ever-expanding menu of options and change their mind again next week - and everybody else MUST play along.

I already said that transgender people "should be treated with dignity and respect". However I can understand why, for example an employer might not want to hire a man with gender dysphoria for certain jobs within their business.
A biological man in a dress at a reception desk might not be the image a company wants.
Do you understand how you totally misrepresented Peterson's position?

Okay, let's imagine a situation. In class:
"Yes, the lady in the back".
"Excuse me, Mr. Peterson. I prefer you call me 'gentleman' rather than 'lady'"
(Normal world:) "Sorry. The GENTLEMAN in the back"
(Petersons world:) "I REFUSE to pander to your Marxist ideology!" (Black helicopters swoop in and Jordan Peterson is taken to room 101).
From what I have heard of Peterson you have totally misrepresented his position. If a transgender person wants to be known as he or she he would have absolutely no problem with that. Neither would I.

But have you read the actual bill C 16?
Yes i read it weeks ago and listened to Peterson's analysis of it.
Do you think gender or gender identity should be a protected class
I think that men and women should enjoy equal rights. That is already the case in most (non-Muslim majority) countries.
I have no idea what it would mean to make "gender identity" a protected class. There are only two sexes. About 0.3% of people have gender dysphoria. I think they should be treated with dignity and respect.

bohm - Perhaps it will turn out that you are right and Peterson's understanding of the law is wrong. I reserve judgement but I am very interested in following the debate.
If it is true that a university professor can be in legal trouble for declining to pander to special snowflakes who demand to be referred to as Zi and Hir then it's a very bad law.

he earns about 5300 a month by talking on this subject - Bohm
Do you have a source for that?

. Legislation of language is a modern way to control verbal bullying and abuse - Never a JW
Peterson's objection to law C-16 is not just that it limits what somebody can say - that would be bad enough. It is legislating what a person must say. That is a line the law must not be allowed to cross.
