Meanwhile other professors who respect their students' identities aren't "real professor"s? ::gags::

Really, we are playing the semantics game? Got nothing else? Language evolves, it isn't legislated.

a) I am a professional semanticist, yes, thank you. b) Language evolves and isn't legislated, except by Peterson, who decides what are words

Peterson is only refusing to use others language, not dictating to others what words MUST be used
