It seems like your emotions are all wrapped up in this, and you’re not thinking clearly. Why would he force trans people out? Elon doesn’t seem like some religious conservative or anything. This reminds me of how the media and folks fed and ate the narrative that Jordan Peterson is a kind of terrible human who hates trans people.

  Sorry, but could you help me connect the dots here. How would a guest on Joe Rogan's podcast be relevant here? You know that both Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson are on Twitter now right? Are they forcing trans people to come out as trans? Are you suggesting that if Elon Musk takes Twitter private, that guests on Joe Rogan's podcast will be free to be on Twitter and then make trans people come out as trans? I'm really confused here. Joe Rogan has had other guests like Sanjay Gupta and Bernie Sanders on as well. Would their comments be further amplified on Twitter (or whatever you are envisioning here) as well via a similar indirect link to Elon Musk?

    I was simply pointing out to the parent commenter that Jordan Peterson does indeed have some rather negative views on trans people, and that it’s not just a narrative made by “the media”.

      I see. I was still thinking in the context of how that would apply to Twitter/Musk. Don’t think it makes a difference and Peterson is on Twitter now anyway.

      Actually you were reinforcing that this is a narrative made by the media, by quoting the exact kind of crappy media article that is pushing that very narrative.

      He might have negative views on trans people. But the whole blow up was because he did not think the Canadian government should force people to use the correct pronouns. He said he would use them voluntarily if someone asked him, but it was wrong to use force to require others to do so. Therefore he is a trans hater and an evil person.

  Ah, a chopped-up, out of context quotation in a clickbait hit-piece article about a 3 hour podcast. Thanks for that. Just the kind of nuanced and thoughtful contribution I like to see.
