Comments by "June VanDerMark" (@junevandermark952) on "Jordan Peterson Clarifies His Gender Pronoun Stance - The Joe Rogan Experience" video.

I hope that people will see the "real" Jordan, and comprehend that it is those of his mentality that made and make life miserable for those of the LGBTQ community. Following are Jordan’s nefarious words (verbatim) “Gender identity and gender expression are not valid ideas. They are not true. There is no evidence for it. I don’t know what the options are, if you don’t identify as a man or a woman. There is an idea that there’s a gender section. I think that is an ill-informed opinion. Gender identity and sexual orientation are the same thing. I don’t believe these people, these terms, stand for good things. I think these people use these terms as a pretense that they stand for good things; as a pretense for them to carry on their nefarious activities.” I am heterosexual, and I say "Shame on you Jordan."

@successandlifestyle There isn't any such thing in the countries where we live, as forcing others to use words they don't want to say. If that were true, Jordan Peterson would now be in prison, on his hunger strike. What a ridiculous man.

"I WON'T DO IT," said Jordan. What a difference in attitude compared to the following "amiable" response. From the book A Few Words About Words … author Joe Diorio FALLING FLAT ON PRONOUNS First, please know that there is nothing new about using the plural pronoun “they” for singular usage. Emily Dickinson was doing it over 100 years ago. Second, identifying one’s personal pronouns is not some trendy idea. I participated in seminars on this topic whilst working at Vanderbilt University, where I learned this is a way to show respect toward others. Channeling my inner Ask Abby, it is perfectly acceptable when meeting someone to not only say what your preferred pronouns are, but to ask the individual what theirs are as well.

@Zripas "I WON'T DO IT," said Jordan, when asked to show respect for those who are transgender. What a difference in attitude compared to the following "amiable" response. From the book A Few Words About Words … author Joe Diorio FALLING FLAT ON PRONOUNS How many times do I have to say it? Language continuously evolves. This topic is not exactly one for the language evolved group. There are those who would argue that the pronoun “they” is plural. Yet the use of “they” as singular, especially for non-binary individuals, is largely accepted today. Language evolves and absorbs over time. Merriam-Webster notes that use of the word “they” as a singular pronoun has been going on since at least the year 1300. So “they” as a singular pronoun evolved. Some of us have not, I guess. I participated in seminars on this topic whilst working at Vanderbilt University, where I learned this is a way to show respect toward others.

@Zripas I was born heterosexual. However, had I been born transgender … rather than Jordan Peterson … I would have been so fortunate to have had Neil deGrasse Tyson for a father. From the book Starry Messenger … Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization … author Neil deGrasse Tyson … As you might suspect among branches of scientific inquiry, those most susceptible to human bias are fields that study and judge the appearance, conduct, and habits of other humans. Topping the list, find psychology, sociology, and especially anthropology. If they are to establish and preserve their integrity, these fields must engage extra levels of peer review and disclosure, with the express purpose of spotting bias. One day, we may discover or otherwise affirm no discrete categories at all, as the multidimensional gender universe unfolds along a continuum, like the colors contained in sunlight. This will significantly dilute the power of homophobic and transphobic bigots to declare that they are somehow separate and distinct from other members of their own species. Many people, who defend our cherished freedoms as citizens of the US, will argue against mandated masks, helmet laws, gun laws, seatbelts, and anything else that constricts a person from living the way they want. Odd that many of these same people will maintain or seek laws to restrict another person’s free expression of their gender identity.

@Zripas From the book … When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress … Author … Gabor Maté M.D. Studies in psychology—an art trying desperately to dress itself up in pure science—often find only what the particular researchers have the eyes to see.

@Zripas Jordan is certain he is an example of being a good and a very moral and "Godly" human being. His religion ... went to his "head." He is CRUEL to those who are transgender. Religion is not based on the concept of the Golden Rule. The basis of religion, is "I believe that your soul is going to suffer for eternity and mine is going to be rewarded with bliss for eternity" … or … "Your soul is going to have to reincarnate many more times into new bodies on earth before it can be anywhere near as enlightened as is my soul." Religion has very selfish AIMS. The Golden Rule is based on treating others as you want to be treated. Religion never did ... and does not accomplish that mission.

@Zripas Do you have the same attitude toward the word "gay" ... which used to mean happy? From the book A Few Words About Words … author Joe Diorio How many times do I have to say it? Language continuously evolves. This topic is not exactly one for the language evolved group. There are those who would argue that the pronoun “they” is plural. Yet the use of “they” as singular, especially for non-binary individuals, is largely accepted today. Language evolves and absorbs over time.

@Zripas Words often change meanings. The fact that people have a problem with the word "they" changing meanings ... suggests (at least to me) that the real problem is that they are anti-transgender ... just as people that had and have problems with the word "gay" meaning "homosexual" were and maybe still are ... anti-homosexual. So narrow is his perspective ... Jordan doesn't even believe that it's possible for people to BE transgender.

@Zripas Are you against how this word changed it's meaning? Isn’t it ironic that black men coined the word “Woke,” and now white men use it “liberally” as an insult against the “leftists?” WOKE … The phrase was uttered in a recording by Lead Belly and later by Erykah Badu. Following the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014, the phrase was popularized by Black Lives Matter (BLM) activists seeking to raise awareness about police shootings of African Americans. After seeing use on Black Twitter, the term woke became an Internet meme and was increasingly used by white people, often to signal their support for BLM, which some commentators have criticized as cultural appropriation.

There is always more to learn … From the book … EPIGENETICS … HOW ENVIRONMENT SHAPES OUR GENES … author … RICHARD C. FRANCIS. Here’s a puzzle, consider the case of two brothers, when each had reached the age of twenty. One of them—call him Al—was a typical male. His brother, Bo, however, was not at all typical of young males at that age. Bo looked more like a pre-adolescent male: poorly developed muscles, absolutely no facial hair, and a voice to match. Their mother was understandably worried about Bo, and soon after his twentieth birthday finally convinced him to see a doctor. Once Bo removed his clothes, the doctor immediately noticed that something was missing—his genitals. A closer inspection revealed that he did in fact have genitals but nothing like those you would expect of a twenty-year-old male. They seemed vestigial. The doctor’s diagnosis was Kallman syndrome, a disorder of sexual development. What’s puzzling is this: Al and Bo are identical twins, nature’s clones. So what happened to Bo? And why didn’t it happen to Al? It is Possible but highly unlikely that Bo’s DNA mutated after the fertilized egg split, in which case the twins would be genetically different. It is much more likely that the differences in Al and Bo are epigenetic in nature. The term epigenetic refers to long-term alterations of DNA that don’t involve changes in the DNA sequence itself.
