Jordan Peterson

The Ontario Human Rights Commission website specifically states that using the incorrect gender pronoun may be considered discrimination

Refusing to refer to a trans person by their chosen name and a personal pronoun that matches their gender identity, or purposely misgendering, will likely be discrimination when it takes place in a social area covered by the Code, including employment, housing and services like education

If Peterson wants his "freedom of speech" when he's educating his students, then maybe he should quit being a professor in a public social area. Then he can have all the freedom of speech he wants.

Honestly how ridiculous would it be, if some professor started harassing a student by saying "I'm not going to call you a Christian, because God doesn't exist and you're being delusional. You're an atheist, just like everyone else."? It's pretty much the same thing.

You're framing the issue as one of harassment. It's not. Of course someone who harasses others should be held acountable, noone is saying otherwise.

A better example would be if a teacher once calls a Christian student an athiest, and gets fired for it. Maybe he didn't mean to and maybe he did, but it's pretty draconian grounds for firing someone in any case.
