they may be more open to expanding their views on the topi (source: was a conservative, had my "being trans is a mental illness and *that's why it's okay and not creepy*!" phase)

this is my only exposure to Jordan Peterson from back when i was way more conservative -- https://youtu.be/e_V9_j4dVuY (i should watch it again to see how my reactions have changed, but iirc this + a discussion between Blair White and Theryn Meyer really changed my perspective)

ok. to me, this is a reason to support his right to speak his position, but it's not an argument to support the position, I guess.

to me, it's better to say *suppose for some people it deserves to be treated as* a mental illness with conditions and a treatment. there's a split here should you not then also provide this for people that *want it* but don't show the form of dysphoria considered valid.

part of his frustration is that he's trying to deal with an incoherent set of positions. but it's not a unified view or ideology of course. it's kind of like asking "what does anonymous want." it's not going to be very coherent!

I've seen him once, on this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtgKRpjVXSg … I don't dislike the man watching it actually, he seems honestly in distress. Things must be really bad in the humanities.

hahaha yeah he seems earnest and likeable here, and honestly the idea of having language legally policed to the extent of having to memorize terms is scary-- but then he gets all twisted into knots confusing the legal aspects with the rest of the topic
