Outspoken conservative psychologist, Jordan Peterson, has been hammering away at the gender agenda, destroying feminists in debates, and critiquing the trans practices, such as genital realignment surgery for children. As punishment for daring to challenge the femo-trans-LGBT+-multicult regime, Peterson was required by the College of Psychologists of Ontario, to undergo social media training or they would revoke his licence. As he did not need a practicing certificate anyway, he treated this as it was, a free speech issue. He fought it out at the Supreme Court of Canada, but lost.
Now he will undergo the training, and will seek to expose all that goes on with it. Overall, the process has exposed the extreme problems woke now poses for freedom, right from the occupations to the Supreme Court. Not permitting academic criticism of the process of altering the genitals of children is something the leading thinkers of all ages, and all cultures would find to be absurd. I propose that all woke policies be judged by this standard: what would the best thinkers of the West in the past, and all other cultures, have thought about this? These thinkers would see the vast financial interests tied up with ideologies that are supposedly about individual liberation, but which have resulted in many harmed individuals, and law suits. And they would turn shake their heads in disbelief.
"Jordan Peterson accepted the College of Psychologists of Ontario's (CPO) social media "training" as a way to defend free speech for all Canadians.
In an op-ed published September 14 by the National Post, the best-selling Canadian author and clinical psychologist who gained fame for his opposition to compelled speech and gender ideology, announced that he will undergo the social media "training" mandated by the CPO for challenging the LGBT agenda.
"I have accepted the college's ruling, even though the so-called 'social media experts' recommended by that board are members of a profession that does not exist, and that there is no evidence whatsoever that their recommendations for altering my behaviour, whatever they might be, will have any effect whatsoever on improving my ability to function as a professional psychologist," he wrote.
Last August, the regulatory body mandated that he undergo social media "training" after complaints related to his posts social media opposing gender ideology, specifically the mutilation of children. Peterson was threatened with the removal of his clinical license if he refused the training.
Peterson has spent months fighting the CPO's mandate. His case made its way to the Supreme Court of Canada. However, in early August, the court rejected Peterson's appeal, leading him to finally agree to the re-education program.
Peterson explained that he is "financially independent" and does not need his license to support himself, having closed his clinical practice some time ago.
Nevertheless, he declared that he will not leave quietly, instead fighting for other professionals who do not have the resources to stand up against the LGBT mob.
"However, this is not only about me, since all regulated professionals in our fair country find themselves in the same leaky boat I currently occupy," he explained.
"Thus, if I capitulate in any manner – if I simply resign, if I settle in any other way without addressing the public issues that have been raised by the case – then all the engineers, teachers, lawyers, physicians, psychologists etc. in Canada remain at risk for reputation, financial security and livelihood every time they dare open their mouths," he warned.
"How can Canadians possibly remain well served by those very professionals when they risk everything every time they dare offer their genuine opinions on such matters, say, as the gender identity of a confused adolescent (psychologically), or when they wish to express skepticism about some new wonder drug or treatment pushed forward by the pharmaceutical cabal, walking hand in hand with the very regulators they have captured (medically)?" he questioned.
Peterson also repeated his pledge to publicize "the details of this charade as widely and effectively as possible."
"There is no bloody way I am going to allow my professional organization to maneuver as they prefer behind closed doors, in the secretive style all petty tyrants prefer," he declared.
