The main criticisms of Peterson were that he pretends to be a Christian for money, that he can't answer simple questions, and that he's the smart person for dumb people.
How would you respond to these criticisms? No brigading please, read the rules.
Yesterday during a WNBA game, Sophie Cunningham of Indiana Fever was assaulted by DiJonai Carrington, a Chicago Sky Guard during the game in the most flagrant intentional foul you will ever see in sports. Video.
After DiJonai Carrington was ejected from the game for her actions, she went online and tweeted "White Privilege", as if skin color had anything to do with why she was ejected.
Less than a week ago, Sophie was elbowed in the face by another player in a different game and the foul was called on her.
Long story short, this is a prime example of why the White Privilege argument is such bad faith, nonsensical bullshit that is used by the worst kinds of people as a bludgeoning tool, not a good faith way to engage in trying to understand some imaginary Intersectionality hierarchy.
The whole idea of "privilege" was never used in a good faith way to begin with, but examples like this make that crystal clear.
Edit: Telling me that I don't understand the concept of white privilege is just another bad faith tactic that eschews the issue being discussed instead of addressing anything I've actually said.
The formal name for this sort of dishonest move in the realm of discourse and debate is The Courtier's Reply: It doesn't attempt to even address the criticism being made, it simply accuses the person making the criticism of "not understanding" without even bothering to explain what hasn't been understood.
I have studied this concept at an academic level both on a college campus and while engaging with the work of the "thinkers" who came up with the term as it's used today (Peggy McIntosh originally in her 1989 paper), but none of that is necessary anyway to see the way it is being used today, in the actual world, by people on Reddit or in the WNBA. Miss me with your gaslighting, thanks.
By the way this was all because Sophie Cunningham said men shouldn't play in women's sports, an opinion that is agreed upon by the Olympics Oversight Committee and the NCAA and anyone else with a working brain.

FTC, States Sue World Professional Association for Transgender Health Over Deceptive Claims Regarding the Treatment of Children
Agency and state partners argue WPATH’s illegal claims profited its members
>The Federal Trade Commission, along with Alaska, Iowa, Nebraska and Texas, today filed a lawsuit against the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), alleging the organization has provided the means for medical providers to make false and unsubstantiated claims to parents in order to sell pediatric medical transition services.
>WPATH, an association of clinicians who profit from pediatric medical transition services, recommended medical interventions, including drugs and surgery, for children and adolescents who expressed dissatisfaction with or distress about their sex traits. In their complaint, the FTC and its state partners allege that these recommendations misled parents and children about the medical consensus and medical necessity, as well as the safety and effectiveness, of such services, in violation of the FTC Act.
>“Today, the FTC filed a lawsuit against WPATH alleging that the organization made false and unsubstantiated claims regarding the necessity, effectiveness and safety of puberty blockers, hormones and sex-change surgeries,” said Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson. “Children, but especially their parents, must have complete and truthful information when making decisions to purchase medical services. For decades, the FTC has taken action against entities that make deceptive and unsubstantiated health-related claims. The complaint filed today reflects that same long-standing mandate: when an entity makes a claim about a medical treatment, the claim must be truthful, evidence-based and not misleading.”

Someone explain it to me.
I feel really bad for my opponent. He was beating me pretty hard and would have won (he had EMP on his Phoenixes, I did not), but I got bailed out by a Nuke that ended up working a lot better for me than him.
Granted, I did expect him to hit the OTHER side (which is why I put all my Forts on the nuke side) but even guessing wrong I still won.
This is Claire Abernathy, victim of transgender ideology. Hear her full story here:
This is on the regular server. I didn't see in the patch notes where oil is suddenly not supposed to be set on fire.
I lost because of this bullshit.
Has anyone seen the new Mandalorian movie? What did you think?
Jordan Peterson has been talking about this for over a decade and of course he's had a few different detransitioners such as Chloe Cole (who wrote the article from the screenshot) on his podcast.
But nonetheless, this is a very good first step.
The detransition rate is much higher than 1%, we can be sure of that, but to the actual numbers of detransitioners, we don't actually know.
Why is that? Because the people running these experiments on children have been notoriously sloppy at keeping long-term data on how it affects their patients.
Many studies have shown that a lot of the regret that people (especially children) experience after transitioning doesn't appear until 10 years later. Most of the followup studies have not been conducted for 10 years, meaning their results and "data" are worthless.
Another methodological problem with the "studies" investigating detransition rate is that they intentionally ignore the large group of patients who do not follow up with the study. Well, if 30+% of the people you performed an experiment on refuse to even follow up with you to tell you whether they regret it or not, in no rational universe can you conclude that the detransition rate is only 1%.
Of course the scientists and medical experts understand this, they're just being dishonest for the sake of propping up an insane ideology, but as Peterson predicted, it's all coming apart.

Apparently in the same movie where it's said that it's a one in a million chance, they show the Holdo Maneuver happening at the end: https://youtu.be/p8xWQcJwRXw?si=r-r7RPSavAUAVzdd&t=20
This is the second detransitioner case to hit the American courts, with the Fox Varian case back in February being awarded $2 million, after the jury decided that threatening a child and her parents with "Would you like to have a live son of a dead daughter?" is not medicine but blackmail.
Camille Kiefel was given 2 short Zoom sessions by licensed "therapists" (read: paid gender shills) who then approved her double mastectomy with almost no investigation of her past, or various confounding co-morbidities such as trauma, severe depression, ADHD, and suicidal ideation.
To nobody's surprise, having her perfectly healthy breasts removed did not resolve the psychological and emotional issues that Camille, who at the time identified as non-binary, was facing.
The case was settled days before it went to trial in Oregon, where the outcome would no doubt have been catastrophic for the rapidly crumbling Pro-Transgender Gender Affirming Care cult and its advocates which include our most prestigious scientific and medical organizations.
On her website, Camille wrote:
>“Gender affirming treatments are experimental, risky and distributed inconsistently.” “Before we consider invasive surgeries, we must first look at all low-risk alternative treatments that address the physical health of the individual.”
There are many more cases still awaiting trial of detransitioners ready to tear down the entire system of ideological cultists and medical butchers who will one day be viewed by history as guilty of one of the worst crimes against humanity, targeting children.
There have been, to date, 7 different scientific meta-analyses of all the data, taking places in countries all over the world from Denmark, Finland, Sweden, the UK, and the US, among others.
For those who didn't know, WPATH, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, the organization which creates the Standards of Care for transgender surgeries such as this, also commissioned their own study with Johns Hopkins University back in 2018 to prove to the world that their model was based upon the best science and medical research.
When the results of the John Hopkins study produced the same outcomes as every other medical and scientific analysis that had been done worldwide, WPATH in what should be a criminal act of negligence, suppressed the outcome of their own commissioned study, so that the world would not know the extent of the crimes and experimental treatments they are using on children.
What we've seen so far is just the beginning. The walls are beginning to crack. Soon the entire corrupt institution will come crumbling down.

Hi, first time posting here. I hope this is the right place.
About a year ago now I met someone who I found out later had severe NPD/BPD traits once the relationship was already over.
The relationship didn't last very long, only a few months.
But even over 9 months later I still wake up every day struggling with everything that happened, sometimes questioning my own sanity, wondering if I can ever trust myself or anyone else ever again.
We were both in our late thirties. When I met her I could see that she was struggling to walk. It turned on that she had MS, a devastating autoimmune disease that attacks your brain and spine. I told her I knew a lot about it because I have people in my family who are suffering from it.
The connection between us was instantaneous. I told her she was so beautiful and asked if she had a boyfriend. She told me she didn't so I asked her for her number.
Looking back that was the first and biggest lie she told me. She was not single like she said. She was still involved with a drug dealing toxic pos who treated her like a property and physically abused her. I will never understand why she didn't just tell me the truth in that moment so all of this pain could have been avoided.
As we got to know each other more I realized how deep and genuine our connection was. She told that me that most of her friends and family were dead or gone and she didn't have anyone. She told me that she had been in three major relationships in her life and all three men had cheated on her and physically abused her.
Our dates together were genuinely the most wonderful experiences of my entire life. I've been in many relationships and on countless dates but being with her was actually magical. I wasn't just imagining it, the girls walking by would give her death stares because of how happy we both seemed.
The moments we spent together had a surreal quality like something out of a movie or book, even to this day I struggle to believe it all really happened.
But just as we were getting close she got distant and pulled away. She got very difficult to get a hold of and would disappear for days at a time. I started getting the feeling she was seeing her abusive ex again, a man who had left permanent damage on her face where he had literally kicked her with his boot. At some point I confronted her face to face and asked if she was seeing him again and she swore to me, on her life, that she was not with him again.
Of course she was still with him, she had never left. This man that abused her. This man that cheated on her. This man that lied to her and manipulated her. This man that treated her like a piece of human property. She was still in love with him.
When I finally realized what was happening I ended it. But even to this day I am so fucked up by the aftermath.
It disturbs me on so many levels I can barely cope with it all. Watching someone I care about throw her life away. Watching someone choose abuse over healthiness. Being lied to and manipulated and gaslighted over and over and over again. Being told that I'm the problem because I'm too nice or too understanding or too kind. Having the the most intense, profound and powerful emotional experiences I've ever felt and then realizing that the person I felt them about wants to be in a relationship with - prefers to be harmed and destroyed.
I have been in therapy every week since it ended, hell I was in therapy before it even began, and I genuinely wonder if it ever gets any easier.
How to ever trust my feelings again? How to trust my own judgement? How to trust my intuition? How to believe anything my heart tells me? How to keep going when your assumptions about humanity, that people just want to be loved and happy, are permanently shattered?
Where do I even go from here? I never knew one relationship could be so hard or cause so much damage but here we are nine months later and I'm still figuring out how to cope.
I love that she's taken a stand for women's rights even though it caused her to lose a ton of fans and to be the subject of massive controversy online.
But in the UK she's been at the forefront of a ton of the recent victories women's rights organizations like For Women Scotland have won, for example the recent Supreme Court victory which states that legal protections designed for women are specifically meant for the female sex, not Self-ID or what someone believes about their gender.
Curious what this sub thinks about her?
