      JP’s pronouns are twat / cunt, as in ‘that twat JP has been saying bullshit on the internet again’ or ‘I hope that cunt JP has shut his big mouth’

    It’s so funny when right wing talking heads decide to go for the tough guy routine.

    It makes me want to call him cis to his face on camera, and then let him do whatever he wants.

    At best he humiliates himself by proving that he can’t do shit about what you say to him. At worst he assaults you and you get to ride the “I got assaulted by Jordan Peterson” train for a while.

    I actually heard something about how he had to go through some weird medical treatments that permanently messed up the chemical balance of his brain.

    That’s why he randomly cries sometimes. For the same reason people with depression do.

      He had a severe benzo addiction and rather than going through the normal treatment of tapering off use, he opted for an experimental treatment offered in Russia where he was instead placed in a medically induced coma to avoid the worst of the withdrawals. This had other side effects though and he later described having to relearn basic motor functions after being awoken, so who knows what else that did to him.

        His chemistry was messed up and he couldn’t do a standard detox, the Russia place (sounded shady as f from his daughter retelling it) was the only place that would do this experimental way. ( Or even attempt it)

        I think anyone who puts themselves into a coma because it’s easier than fighting addiction has no room to scold me on my life choices, he was always stupid.

        I know addiction is hard to beat and I’m not trying to be insensitive, it’s not as easy as “Just stop doing drugs”

        But if you take irresponsibily stupid shortcuts in life… You can stop trying to be my Guru

    I don’t understand why some people get so bent out of shape over the term cisgender. Latin prefixes are even more common in English than abbreviations like AMAB.

      It’s just transphobia. If you don’t have cis (wo)men and trans (wo)men, then you just have (wo)men and trans (wo)men, which implies that trans (wo)men are not (wo)men.

        Got it. I didn’t understand because they make it seem like it’s an insult to be called cisgender. They’re actually just upset that it removes an avenue of bigotry.

            I live in a conservative area and when I’m at the bar I sometimes hear people using the term “liberal” as a slur. I kinda makes me laugh, but also makes me a bit sad.

              I tend to think that conservative is actually a description for limited cognitive means. Progress in any form or shape needs liberal thinking as you wouldn’t find any progressing features by thinking inside the box. Ergo conservatism is inherently the bane of progress. Labeling yourself, proudly even, is just a tell-tale sign that you’re either cognitively limited or afraid of progress. The weird part though is that conservatives lacked the drive to counter the idea that reactionary or regressive thinking people (i.e mostly fanatics or fascists,monarchists ) may be called conservative. They are not by the definition of the word itself

      As someone who used to think it was an offensive term, it’s likely ignorance and because it’s often used in a deragatory and dehumanizing way on the internet.

      At first I didn’t know what cisgendered or cis meant, but I definitely saw it used to describe a group of people non-cis folks didn’t like very much. Of course I eventually learned, but still had a bit of a distaste due to the initial impression.

      Also, I always saw “cishet” as a cheeky way of saying “cis shit” because it was also often used negatively in the places I originally came across the term. Once someone explained it in a comment section I finally understood it wasn’t hateful terminology but instead descriptive.

      You can’t stop someone from being negative but at least knowing what the words are meant to mean can help identify a bad person rather than bad word.

          Look, I’ve never been anti-gay or anti-trans, but this kind of attitude isn’t winning over the people who are in the middle.

          I’m talking about generalizing and stereotyping type statements that, even if you aren’t homo/transphobic, feel like they’re targeted at you. When someone says, to give a hyperbolic example, “cisgendered white men are bigots”, they are not actually referring to all cis white men. But if you’re cis and white, you now know they assume you’re not a good person by default.

          Tribalism is never the way.

        Interesting. I didn’t have that experience myself, but I’ve definitely seen those types of comments. I absolutely understand how that could leave a bad impression. I’ll be more mindful of educational opportunities when having discussions about it in the future. Exposure and understanding are the enemies of bigotry.

        Thanks for the insight!

      The reasoning is simple: it’s just straight up transphobia. The term “cis” is just a neutral descriptor to pair with “trans” with no implication of being right or wrong. They’re mad at the existence of a term for the majority that doesn’t imply an insult to the minority.

        Thanks. Another commenter pointed that out. They’re not really taking offense to the term so much as objecting to the concept of genders differing from biological sex. It’s awful.

        There’s no reason to challenge the term otherwise. Cis is Latin for “on this side of” and trans is “across, beyond, or on the other side.” There’s really nothing objectionable about either prefix.

      It wasn’t Botox tho, right?

      Like the dude who’s all about “personal responsibility” couldn’t man up and make it thru benzo detox got put in a coma to avoid it in a eastern European hospital because no one else would risk it

      Then they couldn’t bring him out of the coma and he got brain damage.

      But did he really get Botox in the brain to intentionally cause the coma?

      Like, that just sounds even more insane…

        I’d personally just let the docs provide me stuff to deal with the symptoms along the way, it’s not like it’s going to be any quicker

          The full story is much…much more crazy.

          Jordy In a coma.

          His Russian son in law, in 2 days, gets him a visa to Russia.

          In a coma, they transport jordy to Russia.

          In Russia, jordy undergoes a still unknown ‘treatment’.

          Jordy later awakens, confused, because Russian.

          Jordy joins the dark side.

          This is fact.

          Yeah. That’s why western doctors wouldn’t do it

          The detox isn’t even that bad, and he ended up with brain damage.

          One of the most common side effects of brain damage is poor emotional regulation and responding to confusion with belligerence.

          At one point, this asshole was just a psychology professor with right-wing political beliefs that rarely came up. The change happened before the coma, but he wasn’t threatening to fight people on Twitter.
