@IsasV Exactly. If you argued, "I can misgender people if I want, it's my right!" Well, sure, you have a right to be an asshole—& universities aren't obligated to keep assholes on faculty: they have codes of conduct that kinda forbid specific assholery like this.Permalink On twitter.com

@IsasV It's very simple, it's just a specific flavor of asshole behavior, with career consequences. Which is the reason for the shifting goalposts, not that Peterson or Lindsay or other free speech grifters will ever admit this.Permalink On twitter.com

@IsasV They want to *claim* they're being silenced, but they're not. They're just being told, "You can speak however the fuck you want in private, but when you're on the job, we have rules and if people say 'Call me X' you do them the politeness of doing so." (ie. Don't be an asshole.)Permalink On twitter.com

@IsasV I guarantee you if I were to misgender my students this way—say, insisting on using feminine pronouns for cis males who I perceive as feminine (like, who wear makeup and even, once, a skirt to class), I'd be up sh*tcreek too. It's *very* simple: don't treat students like shit.Permalink On twitter.com

@IsasV And it's infuriating that this message wasn't anywhere near loud & clear in any of the coverage in the CBC.On twitter.com
