Conservative Canadian writer and psychologist Jordan Peterson, who was temporarily suspended from Twitter for his tweet about “Umbrella Academy” star Elliott Page, said in a nearly 15-minute video posted on YouTube on Friday that he Don’t apologize, even if it makes sense. Suspension turns into a lifetime ban.
His June 22 tweet on the page, announcing that he is a transgender man in December 2020, was a reaction to the third season premiere of the Netflix show. In the series, the page character has also been moved from female to male.
Reacting to the pageant’s commentary during his appearance in “Late Night with Seth Myers” that he is proud to introduce the trans character in the series, Peterson tweeted, “Remember when pride was a sin? And Allen Page just had her breasts removed by a criminal doctor, “intentionally killing the actor and giving him the wrong name.

“I was originally banned from Twitter,” he said in the video. “I say ‘blocked’ but technically I’m suspended.” But the suspension won’t go away until I delete the “hateful” tweet in question, and I’ll die instead. He denied the “grace” of his tweet.

Patterson, who was only hired by the Conservative Podcast Daily Wire, frequently makes headlines for his anti-trans position. In January, he told Joe Rogan that transgenderism is the result of “diffusion” and is similar to the “abuse of evil tradition”.
The 60-year-old, who is also a professor at the University of Toronto, temporarily left Twitter in May over comments that Yomi No Sport’s painted cover was “not pretty” and that it “does not tolerate bullying.” That will change. “
Patterson describes himself as a “traditionalist.”
