Peterson's 12 Rules For Life, have you heard of this?

The pc left contends that we should probably call people by their names.  We do it all the time.  Somebody comes up and says "Hi, My name is Sarah".  We say, Hi sarah, nice to meet you.  A person who keeps calling sarah steve is going out of their way to be an asshole.  How hard is it to call a person by their name..like we do all day everyday?  It may even be that this person is transgender.....but that change doesn't change any preceding fact or statement.

The caricature of the pc left contends, on the other hand..that you are forced to call and/or think that sarah is a pretty princess...even if she's really an icky transgender named steve.

One of these things is not like the other.

Who objects to calling sarah...sarah?  Is it "too extreme" to call sarah..sarah?  Is calling sarah..sarah, an attack on white masculinity?
But min that's compelled speech because in the bigots opinion that person is not a Sarah. Of course people like Peterson bitch that a word was invented to describe something (while pretending he isn't denying trans people exist ) and whining that he needs to use the word in a formal setting like thousands of other words.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
