Twitter Suspends Jordan Peterson After Commenting About Elliot Page – Internet Reacts to It
The original tweet got deleted, and Jordan Peterson is banned. But a screenshot of the tweet starts circling on social media with call-outs to Elon Musk.
“Remember when pride was a sin? And Ellen Page just had her breasts removed by a criminal physician.” – Peterson states in the tweet.
Dave Rubin is amongst the first ones to react to this. He says – “The insanity continues at Twitter. @jordanbpeterson has been suspended for this tweet about Ellen Page. He just told me he will “never” delete the tweet. Paging @elonmusk…”
Back in 2020, Elliot comes out as transgender. Now, Jordan Peterson is receiving criticisms about ‘deadnaming’ the ‘Umbrella Academy’ star.
It is not the first time that Peterson comes out with an anti-transgender stance. Throughout his career, he is stating his anti-transgender stance on many occasions. Whilst being on the Joe Rogan podcast he said that the ‘transgendering’ is spreading like a contagion.
Furthermore, he compared it to a ‘satanic ritual abuse’. He uses the logic that you need to accept what you are and stop trying what you are not. The people are obsessing over presenting themselves as something that they are not and physically cannot be. Instead of embracing themselves they go on and forcefully push towards something unthinkable.
Mikhaila Peterson is the daughter of the controversial psychologist. She also supports her father on his views and stances. She shared a screenshot of the tweet where she openly criticizes Elon Musk for not going through with the censorship policy.
“Wow. @jordanbpeterson got a Twitter strike. No more twitter until he deletes the tweet. Definitely not a free speech platform at the moment @elonmusk” – she says.
Prior to this, Peterson has received criticism from the broad public because he criticized the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model Yumi Nu. He simply said that he thinks that oversized bodies are ‘not beautiful’. And after receiving so much criticism he declared that he leaves Twitter.
