Jordan Peterson's JK Rowling Comment Goes Viral
Newsweek ^ | Apr 03, 2024

Posted on 04/03/2024 2:32:02 PM PDT by nickcarraway

A Jordan Peterson post about JK Rowling has gone viral, following rumors that the British author could be investigated under Scotland's new hate crime law.

SNIP

In response to the rumors, Peterson shared one of Rowling's recent posts blasting trans activist Beth Douglas.

Rowling shared screenshots of past tweets from Douglas, in which she held an axe and a knife, along with the caption: "I heard yall hate trans women, knives and axes. Love from Glasgow."

SNIP

In his repost of Rowling's tweet, Peterson said: "What in the world has happened in Scotland?

"Keep it up @jk_rowling. Let the fools have both barrels."

Since being shared, Peterson's post has received more than 598,000 views.

Douglas has since responded to Rowling's post about her, writing: "I guess nothing says feminism like reuploading images that were used to promote an only fans knife play set and having no clue why a lesbian would pose with an axe."

Like Rowling, Peterson has come under fire for his remarks about transgender people.

The Canadian psychologist was suspended from X in 2022 following a post about transgender actor Elliot Page.

Peterson deadnamed the Umbrella Academy star, writing: "Ellen Page just had her breasts removed by a criminal physician."

Page came out as a trans man on social media in 2020, revealing his new name and "he/his" and "they/them" pronouns.

SNIP

Peterson also caused uproar after he misgendered YouTuber Jazz Jennings.

Quoting a Spiked Online article titled "The Tragedy of Jazz Jennings," the 61-year-old said: "The plight of Jazz Jennings reveals the cruelty of gender-affirming care.

SNIP

"Enough is enough," he wrote alongside an article about recent changes to Kansas state laws, which now require driver's licenses and birth certificates to reflect the gender someone was assigned at birth.

It’s not “gender.” It’s sex. Gender is a squishy word. It’s an interpretable word. Sex is not assigned. It just is. I think this represents the crux of the problem.

Spirit attachment of the opposite gender causes problems.

Many need an exorcism, not surgery.

Several places estimate JK Rowling’s net worth is $1Billion.
Maybe she could buy places that try to attack her.

Old magazine cartoon. (sexism alert)

Two young women sitting at a party of well dressed people.
First: I’m thinking of going to college this fall and putting off marriage until later on in life.

Second: If you sit next to the right guy at this party someday he could buy you a college.

Gender is a squishy word.

Gender is a grammatical concept. There are three genders; masculine, feminine and neutral

Sex is a biological concept. There are two sexes; male and female.

Only science-deniers believe otherwise.

A while back I watched a movie called "Hard Candy" where then Ellen Page played a young rape victim who terrorized the man who raped her.

It was a very anti-male movie.

Why would Ellen want to become Elliott if she thought men were so evil?

Confusing.

Of course. The correct answer to ‘How many genders are there?’ is to ask, “Which language?’

Can you describe neutral gender? And be specific.

No. You are fully capable of looking it up. Argue with the dictionary, Karen.

Everyone should read the update on “Jazz Jennings” - if you remember, he was the child, whose 15 minutes of fame, 15 years ago, was to be exploited by reality TV and the political LGBTQ movement.

The child/man is now a depressed, anxious and permanently disfigured pseudo-adult.

America is a sick, sick country

I can. In German there are three genders. We say, "das Brot (bread)." That is thw masculine form of "the". Then, "die Butter (butter)." That is the feminine form of "the". Then there is der, which is the neuter form of "the".

I have to blame a lot on the mother. She was gaslighting her child.
