Still cannot believe anyone takes this shell of a crank seriously.

This latest bout of faux outrage over the term "cis" would be funny if it weren't so irritating.

Treating it like a slur is so weird, I've never heard anyone say cis in any kind insulting way. I also love the whole "it's an invented word" thing — unlike all those other words that weren't invented. Anyway JP probably thinks it sounds like sissy or something.

These are the same people who usually refuse to call a trans person by their preferred names/pronouns.

was the usage 'cis-sy' though I've only heard it said rather than written. But I thought it was some kind of silly word play on a term that may well be archaic now. That is as in what was said to the person the story is about and what spread from there in a giant game of telephone.
But could be the story is just overtaking the event anyway.

& is the old term spelt sissy or cissy anyway
& is it one that hasn't been reclaimed since its original era anyway.

Heard a version of teh stroy on a podcast a couple of weeks back and I'm not remembering all the details. But is it still causing mass outrage,

They don't object because it sounds like sissy. They object because there's a word for them at all.

it would be one thing if this guy was a conservative media personality or something where his job is to be outraged but no this dude is a psychologist, he's supposed to actually help people with their mental health

he's an academic and his job is to get attention

he hasnt practiced psychology for a while tho, right? he is just a conservative media personality now.

His job is to be the academic who tells wealthy bigots that they are right about stuff

it's a competitive field, so you know he's good at it

fwiw he resigned from UT more than a year ago

how do you resign from a state?

They don't object because it sounds like sissy. They object because there's a word for them at all.

Yeah, they are the definers, not the defined. JP decides whether to use your pronouns, you don't decide anything about him at all. Just linguistic power games.

Because they use “trans” as a slur they assume “cis” must also be a slur

this was such a fucking hassle for me last time that there's simply NO way I would do it again using Ben Shapiro's voice to call Jordan Peterson. And there's NO way that is worked better this time. https://t.co/3Elf3Cotna

Ha! That was a Mad Magazine gag from way back...

...also, describing him as a "Youtube professor" is quality shade...

Just really going full Batman villain here. Broadcasting from his secret lair.

I think he had to take a remedial course before, so this is all acting.

Jordan Peterson misrepresented something?

That is the most shocking thing I've heard in the last five minutes.

He also admits he doesn't actually need his psychologist license because he hasn't done any private practice for years. But basically he likes it as a credential.

a remedial course in acting?

That he definitely needs.

I was about to say exactly this

its nice this guy has completely blown through the strangely high level of credibility he had a few years ago because I have to say I find him to be incredibly funny sometimes. he's like a Seinfeld character particularly a cross between Newman and Crazy Joe Davola. "wheel see who cancels who!" is just an objectively funny line sorry

Doctor Who Are You to Ask Me for my Pronouns

Lol

every single comment on this video from JB's youtube is like, Surely you, Dr. Peterson, sir, will persevere in your fight to illuminate the truth in dark times! Godspeed my good sir

Lots of people come back all weird after being killed and resurrected by their daughter

with all due respect Dr. Peterson I'm built different

yeah now that i think about it he did go to Russia to regenerate into his current form

treeship otm

its nice this guy has completely blown through the strangely high level of credibility he had a few years ago

He still has credibility in the UK media, I think he wrote a "thinkpiece" for the Daily Telegraph recently and I would not be surprised in the least to see him still pop up on UK television.
