I don't have a whole lot of disagreements with Peterson, but he's a whore. He regularly exploits his followers by taking paid sponsorships for dating/lifestyle products and posts them on his feed for his impressionable following

I don't think it should be the job of the state to enforce that kind of thing. Besides which, "transphobes" are often just old or ignorant. I once saw a trans woman threaten to get a train conductor sacked because he misgendered her "Can I see your ticket, Sir?"
The train conductor was like 60 years old and wasn't even aware of what he'd done. The rest of the staff sat on the carriage and tried to knock their heads together to figure out what had happened. None of them knew. If they were educated, they'd have exercised politeness

Legislation only breeds resentment and does more damage in the long run that education would. It's using a band-aid to fix a leaky pipe rather than having it repaired.

If you're willing to let the government dictate the limits of speech, your less-than-ideal situation is going to come back and hurt you, especially if (God forbid) public opinion on trans people radically shifts to the negative following a few court cases for hate-speech

not sure if how much of an argument u wanna built on that, the formal possibilities a law provides matter regardless of the likelihood that someone takes advantage of them. tbs, the free speech case is bullshit cuz as I said, workers don't have free speech while working

well they seem to believe they'll go to jail for being rude/inconsiderate to random strangers, and I think they genuinely believe that, what mystifies me is mostly, why they're so invested in believing that, more a victim complex than transphobia maybe idk

that sounds like a trans-flavored version of standard client/service worker bullshit. yes, full social equality for trans people will mean they will be as capable of being dicks to service workers as anyone else. this will look like a new thing.
