Here's a good place to start with Jordan Peterson:

I think he's a brilliant and courageous man. Before you criticize him, find out what he's really about. I would characterize him as "Mr. Rogers for adults." A part of his refusal stems from 1) his knowledge that the Canadian law in question asserts scientific falsehoods and codifies them into law and 2) his objection to the law's compulsion to say things (as opposed to a compulsion to not say certain things) which to him represent something related to Marxist ideology (through Postmodern Social Construction) and 3) other structural objections to the Canadian law in question, which he feels oversteps the protection of individual freedoms by, for example, abrogating due process.
I find that watching his lectures is very worthwhile, from the standpoint of the Humanities. He may well end up being one of those responsible for saving the Humanities as the 21st century internet continues to disrupt higher education. In particular, he has a formulation of the Humanities which is compatible with and draws from evolutionary biology.
