Unfortunately that's no longer the case as "protesters" have changed for the worst, instead of voicing opinions many are restoring to intimidation and violence.

Okay, but how many instances like have there been compared to radical feminists and Marxist leftist groups trying to shut down public speaking events for people having views which they subjectively view as "oppressive"

JP is fighting Canadian legislation that does indeed make speech illegal. Bill C-16. Even jokes about "chicks with dicks" could get you a fine.

Am a fan of Dr. Peterson,
but, despite supporting him in his fight,
because the 'issues' leveled against him are bullshit,
am not particularly concerned about C-16 itself

This enactment amends the Canadian Human Rights Act to add gender identity and gender expression to the list of prohibited grounds of discrimination.

The enactment also amends the Criminal Code to extend the protection against hate propaganda set out in that Act to any section of the public that is distinguished by gender identity or expression and to clearly set out that evidence that an offence was motivated by bias, prejudice or hate based on gender identity or expression constitutes an aggravating circumstance that a court must take into consideration when it imposes a sentence.

The broader text elucidates the actual ramifications in terms of employment and public services

Making a joke about "chicks with dicks" is not of enormous concern
but if you want to distribute pamphlets on how we should eliminate "chicks with dicks" as subhuman
you're going to face some issues
also you will no longer be able to deny someone a job for being trans
similar to not being able to deny someone a job for being single because you don't want singles working there

and....JP is a liberal.

plus, the notion that you'll be hauled in for uttered "chicks with dicks" is, frankly, hilariously absurd. Canada isn't NatSoc Germany, people. we don't silence people for utterances. the bill is proposed to add two sections regarding gender, one is in regards to advocating for people's genocide (ie, no more "Trans are the devil, they must be wiped out, clean our nation, my kids won't be growing up with any of this!" ect -- then two, is in regards to someone's harassment.

let me give an example of how this one works too.

let's just make this even more interesting, Middleman, and fun, and let's say that you are my-my-muh boy...you're my boy, Bobby, born and raised -- but now let's say i decided that you were too much of animu loving pussy, that i think you ought to be called a girl from now on....

tell me, what do you think of that? think that should be illegal? do you think that is somewhat of an abuse, psychologically, to the child?
