Jordan Peterson Supporter Speaks at October 11 Rally
[Content warnings for extreme transphobia, transmisogyny, anti-feminism, ableism, pathologization]
An update on the ongoing situation in Toronto surrounding the transphobic professor at the University of Toronto and subsequent protest demonstrations [1, 2, 3, 4]. This is a speech that was given at what was called a “Freedom of Speech” rally, held in support of professor Jordan Peterson and as a counter-protest to the trans-inclusive teach-in that took place at the same venue the previous week.
Organizers in Toronto are asking for this video to be circulated to spread awareness of the vile and hateful rhetoric that transgender students are being subjected to at the University of Toronto.
The University of Toronto is planning to host a debate about the validity of transgender rights with Jordan Peterson on Saturday November 11th, to give further platform and validation to the man who has sparked so much hostility and hatred towards transgender staff and students at this institution.
Activists are calling for a boycott event, and we encourage transgender, nonbinary and intersex people and allies to take to social media to let people know that our rights and our humanity are #NotUpForDebate
You can also call the University of Toronto at 1-416-978-2011 to let them know your thoughts on the matter.
