Heated debate on gender pronouns and free speech in Toronto (Video)

University of Toronto professors Jordan Peterson and A.W. Peet discuss the use of alternate pronouns on campus for those who say words like 'he, she, him or her' don't represent them accurately.

(This is a courageous professor, Jordan Peterson, at Toronto University standing up to the language Nazis. These people have got to be destroyed!!)

Sorry, but you don’t get to teach me English. You do not dictate the language to me. And you don’t get to give me a penalty for not doing it your way.
STFU.

Hopefully someone there will insist on his personal pronouns being ‘his highness’ or ‘his serene majesty’.

You might want to do this for French, Spanish, German and Italian first, where actual nouns have genders. Let's see how these protesters have to deal with Academie Française and the Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF) in Montreal on noun genders.

It’s also interesting that in Chinese there are no gendered words or pronoun, as far as I know, yet China is one of the most sexist society.

If I use standard language about a neutral subject, and you are offended, then it’s not my speech, but your thinking that is offending you.

Oxford University wants to replace “he and “she” with “ze”.

But, they failed to consider the possessive and objective. Would that be “zis” and “zers”, and “zim” and “zer”.

And what about the plurals? Would that be “zey”, “ziers”, and “zem”.

How about just using “it”, or would they make that “zit”and “zits”?

Zey should go f—k zemselves!
