There are limits to it under the law — you’re conflating how individuals talk about their identity online with protected categories under the law to make a slippery slope argument. That’s bullshit.

Regarding your third point, I’m talking about how civil rights laws are actually used and applied in practice. Feel free to read OHRC rule’s and the cases they ruled on. The key phrase there is “contributing to discrimination” in that misgendering is one way among many to demonstrate discrimination in the same way that someone using racial slurs can also be evidence in a discrimination case. Peterson’s argument rests on viewing misgendering in isolation and outside the context of how laws are applied in practice, which came up during C-16 many times.

Finally, like I said, Peterson has said contradictory things about this over time; if you have something in writing or a specific time-stamped part of a Youtube video where he lays this out with specificity and relates it to the laws under discussion, please share it and I’ll add it as a note. Like be helpful instead of demanding. Thanks.
