Canadian Professor: Fire Me, Fine Me, Jail Me. I Won't Back Down to "PC Police!""If they put me in jail I'll go on a hunger strike. I'm not doing this and that's that. I'm not using the words that other people require me to use, especially if they're made up by radical left-wing ideologues." -Prof. Jordan Peterson, University of Toronto
Three weeks ago Peterson raised an international storm by putting out three Youtube videos condemning the Canadian government, the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC), and his own university for what he sees as their effort to compel the use of transgender pronouns for students and staff who identify themselves as other than male or female. Peterson indicated the likeliest threat to be the OHRC, which already has regulations threatening both individuals and their employers with fines and gag orders if they don't use the pronouns preferred by individuals claiming to be "other-gendered." Ask by TVO host Steve Paikin if he is willing to suffer the inevitable consequences for his stand, Peterson was resolute. "I think that the OHRC is obligated by their own tangled web to bring me in front of it. If they fine me, I won't pay it," he told the panel. "If they put me in jail I'll go on a hunger strike. I'm not doing this and that's that. I'm not using the words that other people require me to use, especially if they're made up by radical left-wing ideologues." A moment later he said he was prepared to soften his position if the dozens of alternative pronouns now being proposed were boiled down to a handful and if he were never required to give up the distinction between singular and plural pronouns. Some transgenders, including one of the panellists, transitioning female-to-male writer Mary Rogan, prefer to be referred to as "they" because it is gender-neutral.

Peterson corrected her: "It's not a transsexual cabal. It's a cabal of radical left wingers." Peterson's overarching view expressed in his videos is that the political Left's strategy in democratic societies is to ally themselves with those who are unsuccessful and to blame their situation on oppression by those who are more successful. Peterson calls this "the PC Game" and describes it as an attempt "to subject all values to the single value of equality of outcomes..." Continue reading here.
