They locked Peterson\u2019s account after he posted his thoughts on transgender actress Elliot Page.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA few days ago I penned an irritated tweet in response to one of the latest happenings on the increasingly heated culture war front. In response to the decision of an actress \u2014 actor \u2014 named Ellen \u2013 Elliot Page. I am employing this awkward and impossible naming style because it is now apparently mandatory and am probably doing it wrong\u2026I\u2019m trying to make a point,\u201d Peterson began in his reply.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve essentially been banned from Twitter as a consequence. I say banned although technically, I\u2019ve been suspended. But the suspension will not be lifted unless I delete the \u2018hateful\u2019 tweet in question, and I would rather die than do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Next, the Canadian psychologist went over what the tweet said and what he believes the violation may have been, despite Twitter never specifying which part of the rules he violated.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>\u201cRemember when pride was a sin? And Ellen Page just had her breasts removed by a criminal physician,\u201d the original tweet said.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter\u2019s explanation said Peterson violated the rules against \u201chateful conduct,\u201d an accusation that he vehemently denies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did not promote violence against or threaten anyone,\u201d Peterson said in reply.<\/p>\n<p>He went on to discuss the sin of pride and the problem of Pride month being a celebratory occasion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t regard pride as a virtue. It has been classically regarded as a sin,\u201d he said, explaining how celebrating or taking pride in your sexual orientation is unnecessary.<\/p>\n<p>Next, Peterson posited that he was banned for deadnaming the \u201cJuno\u201d alum by calling Elliot \u201cEllen,\u201d or by using the pronoun \u201cher\u201d when the star had since transitioned to using \u201che\/him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow could those I\u2019m writing to make sense of what I was saying if it was his breasts that were removed? Were those male breasts or female breasts that were removed?\u201d he continued, making the case for calling Page a woman to make his point in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Peterson said Page may be an adult capable of making decisions as he\/she sees fit, but that as a celebrity, there is some level of responsibility to fans as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElliot has undoubtedly with his\/her\/their so-called courage\u2026 enticed many a poor, confused adolescent \u2013 girl, most likely \u2013 to blame her emergent pubescent self-consciousness, confusion, and discomfort on being born in the wrong body and believing that the courageous, self-affirming, and moral admirable route is hormonal treatment, sterilization, subjugation to a lifetime of expensive medical complications, and misery,\u201d Peterson said, before pointing out that transgender surgeries and drugs are part of a $300 million industry that\u2019s growing at a rapid pace.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, Peterson insisted he\u2019s not deleting the tweet.\u00a0\u201cUp yours, woke moralists,\u201d the DailyWire+ contributor said.\u00a0\u201cI regard [being banned] under the present conditions as a badge of honor.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DailyWire+ addition Jordan Peterson issued a scathing review of Twitter following the social media platform banning him this week.
