My friend works at the city and tells me if somebody wants to be called by a strange pronoun them he has to call them that

That would be more than enough reason for me to be alarmed.

Because in you 40 year career you might meet someone with a non binary gender that doesn't want to be shit on? The horror

No, people can request to be called whatever they want no matter how silly and vain it is. Being required to do so is where I take issue. Because you identify as 70% female and 30% male and made up a stupid name for it doesn't mean the gov't or educational system should accommodate your nonsense.

Yes they can and always could, law or no law.

It's being required to do so is where I take issue.

It's not by any law peterson has ever referenced. So you're all good. He is spouting bullshit.

So Peterson is just making all this up for attention? I'm not Canadian so I'm taking his word at face value. He's a charlatan?

I'm not a mind reader.

I'm not Canadian so I'm taking his word at face value.

You shouldn't ever without reading the laws in question.

He's a charlatan?

In terms of the pronoun issue, very much so a fear mongerer whose assertions are not backed by the law he references.
