Loving all the great arguments being made.
Just wanted to make the point that Jordan Peterson's issue about the gendered pronoun bill was not about "free speech" as commonly thought, but about "compelled speech".
He was stating that the government has no precedent to tell someone that they have to say something.
There are already plenty of limits on free speech, such as inciting violence and conspiring to commit crimes.
Jordan Peterson when asked directly if he would use trans-gendered pronouns, he said if asked in a reasonable way that he would. He's also expressed how unfortunate it is that trans people have been dragged into this debate on "compelled speech" as other trans advocacy groups have also expressed.
Just thought I would add that for some extra nuance.
