If you don't like what the book says, don't read it. You can't start taking away people's right to free speech whenever they say something you don't like, and the same applies vice-versa. As long as he doesn't advocate for violence — which he doesn't — you shouldn't hold his tongue.

9/10 times these people crying about "transphobia" and "white supremacy" are just white Liberals who've been exploiting minority communities for decades. I'm transgender, and I'd be more than happy to publish his book. Why? Because I believe everyone should have a voice, no matter how they use it. That's an integral part of being a democracy and a free society.

It wasn't too long ago when LGBT books faced the same problems as Peterson's. It wasn't too long ago when queerfolks weren't allowed to express themselves at all. But now, LGBT books can be published with ease, and you can publicly express how you identify and feel — because free speech prevailed, but this same free speech that has benefited the LGBT 'community' is now being targeted by it. That's a reason it left me: I support free speech, not political correctness.

It astounds me how hypocritical these people are. Don't they realize that if they take away the rights of others, that their own rights can be taken away as well? If you hold one man's tongue, don't be surprised if someone holds yours.
