When refusing to call a man ‘they’ becomes a ‘hate crime’

In Toronto, Canada, two professors are having a very public row. One is a professor of Clinical Psychology and the other a professor of Physics. If changes in the law take place in a way that is anticipated, one of them may end up in jail.

They don’t even know each other. And you might thank that because it is taking place in Canada, we can all relax, because it could never happen here; except that many of the changes so far that have taken place in Canada, one of the most socially progressive cultures in the Western World, are copied elsewhere.

This was the country that first removed ‘mother and father’ from birth certificates on the grounds that if gay and lesbian parents could not constitute a mother and father together, and so feel discriminated against, then the term should be abolished altogether.

Once again the spat is about resisting the steady progress of neo-Marxism in its quest to undo the biological categories of gender and replace them with social constructs.

Actually, that’s not altogether what Jordan Peterson, the Professor of Clinical Psychology objects to.

What has happened is that another professor, A.W. Pete, a professor of Physics has described himself as a ‘non-binary person’. That is, whatever he was born as, and whatever his present genital configuration may be , or x and y chromosome make up is, he doesn’t see himself as either a man or a woman.
