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.

In my 1980’s dictionary, there were only 3 options for gender. Male, female and neutral/none. While gender can be applied to inanimate objects, like plumbing, plugs, adapters, etc, it was still quite fixed. All of the newly found genders have been invented in the past few decades. Gender as a “social construct” is quite new.

Sorry, I misremembered from ninth grade German. Der is masculine and das is neuter.

Calling someone by their real name is a crime.

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.”

Good old fashioned semantics.

Can you describe neutral gender? And be specific.

An object that is neither male nor female.

Pick up a garden hose and look at the ends. One is male, the other female. Now stick your finger into the female end and pull out the rubber washer. The washer is neutral. In pipe fitting, gaskets and flanges are neutral.

Ellen won’t off herself until hollyweird turns against these freaks. And it will happen....takes some time. The “stars” always chase (and approve) the next bestest thing until it ain’t “cool” anymore.

As they say in the Harry Potter films, when danger is sensed...

"Wands out," Jordan Peterson and JK Rowling!

She was beautiful and never gave herself the credit that was due. Sad, really. Nobody will date her (except other freaks), she will be used, abused and tossed aside. Although, she’s most likely already been abused by the “powers that be” in Hollywood....I assume that’s why she’s so effed up today.

Watch the Quiet On Set series....I cried my eyes out. My heart hurt it was so so sad.. Pedophiles need to be dead.

Gender Truthers Unite! You have nothing to lose but your integrity by complying, and your tormentors have already lost everything.

You’re close, but gender isn’t male female or niether. It’s masculine, feminine or niether (neuter).

In many European languages, there are neutral nouns.

ONG!!! Somebody pulled the curtain. That darn dog!

When a guy impersonates a female to satisfy their lust, that does not become identity as a result of birth. One cannot change their biological identity.That identity is only the role based on the costume (i.e. cosmetic surgery, hormones and clothing) and the act. Ones act is no different than the role for an actor in a play or movie. The actor is not really Jimmy Doolittle, will never be Jimmy Doolittle and was never Jimmy Doolittle in the playing of Jimmy Doolittle. Both the actor and the sex impersonator never came from Shangri-La. Therefore, the female impersonator has no basis for discrimination and pays the price for his lust.

I notice that the French language has male and feminine uses for their words.

As Gordon Libby used to remark, words have gender, people have sex

Note: It is Beth Douglas, the trans activist which was holding the knife and axe, not J.K. Rowling or Jordan Peterson.

Good grief. No one has ever heard of “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.”
