Jordan Peterson
Canadian Psychologist
Author and Conservative Commentator
—Promoted his interview with Elon Musk who said his estranged daughter was “killed” by the “woke mind virus” after he was tricked into agreeing to gender-affirming care procedures. Musk called transgender health care “child mutilation and sterilization.” His adult child is alive.
—Called Vice President Kamala Harris “DEI Barbie.”
—Said a hormone expert and trans rights advocate had gone “from deluded to evil” for describing the use of prescribed puberty blockers.
—Suspended by Twitter for his aggressive targeted anti-trans harassment of actor Elliot Page. The account was restored after Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter.
—YouTube removed an anti-trans video interview between Peterson and “gender critical” activist and author Helen Joyce for violating the platform’s hate speech policy. Joyce called trans people “demonic” in the video.
—In June 2022 YouTube demonetized three Jordan Peterson videos for violating their community guidelines: “Twitter Ban,” “Doctors & Psychotherapists: Butchers & Liars,” and “Butchers and Liars Reprise.” The latter video especially targets trans youth, their families and healthcare providers with inflammatory mischaracterizations of trans healthcare. In the video, Peterson makes inflammatory references to the genitals of trans children, saying of trans youth that surgeons are cutting off “their breasts and their balls.” The video concludes with the line, “Man the barricades and keep the degenerates away from the children.” In fact, transgender healthcare is recognized as the standard of care by every major medical association. An HRC Foundation report notes, “Transgender and non-binary people typically do not have gender-affirming surgeries before the age of 18. In some rare exceptions, 16 or 17 year-olds have received gender-affirming surgeries in order to reduce the impacts of significant gender dysphoria, including anxiety, depression, and suicidality. However, this is limited to those for whom the surgery is deemed clinically necessary after discussions with both their parents and doctors.”
—Promotes the discredited, unproven theory of “rapid onset … gender dysphoria” and said without basis, “For every [transgender] kid you save, you will doom a hundred.”
—Claimed that non-binary identities are not valid, “because there’s no scientific justification for them.”
—Blamed support for trans people for a rise in Nazism. He said, “I’ve studied Nazism for four decades. And I understand it very well. And I can tell you there are some awful people lurking in the corners. They’re ready to come out. And if the radical left keeps pushing the way it’s pushing, they’re going to come.”
—Claimed that trans people are a sign of the dissolving of culture. Speaking with Joe Rogan, Peterson said, “I think probably it’s not so much an obsession with gender, it’s a disintegration of categories as a precursor…. If categories just dissolve, especially fundamental ones, the culture is dissolving because the culture is a structure of category.”
The GLAAD Accountability Project catalogs anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and discriminatory actions of politicians, commentators, organization heads, religious leaders, and legal figures, who have used their platforms, influence and power to spread misinformation and harm LGBTQ people.
