A post by Jordan Peterson about transgender actor Elliot Page that broke Twitter’s guidelines “against hateful behavior” led to his suspension from the social media site.
Screenshots of the Canadian clinical psychologist’s offensive tweet account have been posted online. It was said, “Remember when pride was a sin? And Ellen Page a forensic doctor had just had her breasts removed.”
In 2020, Page came out as a transgender and said he would now be called Elliot. According to many, Peterson is being criticized for “naming” the 25-year-old “Umbrella Academy” star.
Peterson, 60, who began work for the conservative Daily Wire podcast on Thursday, is known for his anti-trans stance. In Joe Rogan’s podcast, he once claimed that being transgender is a “contagion” and is comparable to “satanic ritual abuse.”
Mikhaila Peterson, the psychologist’s daughter, also posted screenshots of the online tweets in which she criticized Twitter and Elon Musk, who has been trying to acquire the social network.
The 60-year-old has a history of disputes with Twitter, and this is the most recent. After being criticized for humiliating Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model Yumi Nu, Peterson boldly declared in May that he was “abandoning” the platform.
