Yes. I see now, you mean the attitude. I was thinking too practical.

If students had called Jordan Peterson 'Jordana' & referred to him as 'her' rather than demanding firing it would have tested his principles

No. His principles stand for not trying to impose your "feelings" on someone else, especially when they depart from objective reality.

You think his argument wasn't for free speech but 'I get to call you what I want but you don't coz I'm right'?

Government should not compel speech. Thinking people can find rude and untruthful speech unpleasant or wrong. Absolutely no contradiction.

Agreed. Did I suggest there was? They just have to deal with it tho. Whether its Peterson's speech thought unpleasant & wrong or students;

He doesn't have to call people by the gender they want but people don't have to call him by the gender he wants either.

He has the benefit of thousands of years of agreement as to gender identity across nearly every culture. Burden is on those in opposition.

But we're not talking about proof of rightness but freedom of speech. You do not seem to be committed to this. I think Peterson is tho.

Thus, my argument that objective truth plays a big part in whether speech is helpful.Separate question entirely from whether it is permitted

We agree that truth is more helpful than falsehood.
