Jordan Peterson, who has gained international fame for his bestselling self-help books and lectures
False. He did not gain any fame or notoriety until he threw a hissy fit about “compelled speech” when UofT asked him to use people’s preferred pronouns, and became the darling of the right wing talking heads.
Iirc his original claim to fame was speaking out about “compelled speech” against bill C-16, which extended human rights minority protections to trans people.
The fact that media referred to him as an “intellectual” instead of an “anti-trans activist” has always been wrong, because being an anti-trans activist is what made him famous.
