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.

. 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.

They just need 47.8 of support from non transgender to get a majority. - Never a jw
0.3% + 47.8% = 48.1%

Languages and societies evolve. - never a jw
Yes. Nobody is objecting to the evolution of language. Legislation of language is the problem.

Do you remember when some women asked to be called Ms? The sky fell down then too
I have never referred to anybody as Ms in my life, I have also never referred to a man as Mx and never will.
Bill C-16 makes it illegal to decline to pander to anybody's latest whim regarding their gender identity or expression. If somebody decides that this week they are skoliosexual and prefer to be referred to by pronouns like Zi and Hir the law will demand that Canadians comply.
