Peterson claims that a reason for his opposition to C-16 — apart from Marxist conspiracy — is that it wouldn’t have the intended effect of protecting trans people anyway. This goes along with his refusal of the label ‘transphobic’ — he sometimes says he supports trans people, and he’s actually fighting for them, unlike the self-appointed trans activists he sees as ‘not representative’ of the trans community. However, it’s unclear to me how he thinks trans people would be better off without minimal legal recourse against discrimination and persecution. (This is the core of the bill: making sure people aren’t denied employment or housing, for example, because of their gender expression or identity. The pronouns stuff is supplementary, besides being misrepresented by Peterson.)
