Jordan Peterson has defended Bill Maher after the comedian shared "controversial" views on gender reassignment while appearing on a podcast. Maher sat down with commentator Joe Rogan on his show, The Joe Rogan Experience, and discussed talking points including former U.S. President Donald Trump's indictments, the 2024 election, and obesity. In an online clip that has emerged from the podcast recording session and has been viewed more than 3.3 million times on X, formerly Twitter, the comedian also added his thoughts on gender reassignment. Maher said any pain or shortening of life caused by gender reassignment outweighed the rationale to undergo the procedure, with the notion being "ridiculous."

In the video, Maher said: "This is just me, but I am allowed my opinion. If I was one hundred billion percent convinced I was born in the wrong body, I still wouldn't do anything to my body because medical considerations come first." He added: "The idea that you can just take some sort of puberty blockers...or-or...just snap on, snap off organs...without really hurting myself medically and taking years off my life is ridiculous." Maher ended his example of how he would live if he felt in the wrong body with: "I would somehow make it work." Influencer Peterson reposted the video clip on X and added his views. Peterson said: "It's 'controversial' If you're a greedy sadistic psychopathic surgeon-butcher Or a cowardly, lying, ideologically-possessed therapist-enabler @billmaher @joerogan." Maher's video clip discussing Trump and the 2024 election on Rogan's YouTube channel has been viewed over 1.2 million times, with his discussion on obesity being treated as a disease racking up 824,000 views.

Its curious how Bill never discusses this with medical professionals. Actual ones, not quacks like Jorgo Pieceofshit.

Well ya know, the medical considerations of the actual experts in this subject are that medical intervention is one of the best treatments we have for gender dysphoria

So there's that

Peterson has essentially found a low-effort money train in his anti-trans bigotry and misinformation peddling.

He originally cast himself as a persecuted victim of imagined repercussions of laws he either didn't understand or lied about, and now he casts himself as an intellectual iconoclast fighting the forces that be - AKA people calling him a liar and nutjob on social media.

Truly the MLK of wealthy Canadian cis-het men privileged enough to quit a teaching job he said he would be fired from years ago in order to make online videos where he dresses like the Riddler and scolds his would be critics.

My dysphoria got real bad last night. Had to imagine myself outside of my body and as a busty girl to calm myself down.

Even putting a pillow in my shirt isn't working as well anymore. And my family doesn't really care. My brother keeps telling me I'm stressing myself out yet offers little comfort to alleviate it.

And my grandfather just tells me I'm wrong to feel this way.

I had a panic attack over a year ago because of this. I just wish I had much better support in my life.

Joe Rogan does the same. He seems to have these serious type of discussions and the guest would be (Insert Actor) instead of a doctor.

Bill Burr was one of the few people to call him out on it in a great clip a while back.

Hmm I wonder why trans people don't respect the opinions of people who "disagree" with them? I wonder if it has something with telling them they are being groomed into mutilating their body and taking years off their lives by "psychopathic butchers"

Trans person: "I consent"
Doctor: "I consent"
Jordan Peterson: "Is there someone you forgot to ask?"

Which still means the topic is about two people, one of who boosts/amplifies? So it's not just "70 year old has outdated views on gender affirming medical care."

I dont care. The point is that none of this is the least bit surprising or noteworthy. Old man says old man thing, grifter comments on it to pretend hes relevant.

iirc he has always been anti vaxx adjacent but never full on anti vaxxer. i am sure he probably is a full on anti vaxxer now considering what he has been spiraling towards.

like 5 or 10 years ago his weird anti medical views on vaccines were his only super outrageous position that i can think of, now he is basically just turning into a non moronic tim pool type

Whether something is surprising isn't the only metric for something being worth discussing...

Half the world is legislating against trans people based on the exact same thoughts as Peterson and Maher

Bill Maher dyes his hair because he hates that he's going grey, but sure he'd totally just deal with it if he had gender dysphoria.

He should stick to facts like he did before. The more he goes into his opinions he gets lost in the woods and wonders into racist, sexist, homophobia, classism, xenophobia, fascism, etc.

Makes me think he was disingenuous the whole time and was trying to play to an audience, but since Drump he sees he can be himself and play to new audiences if some one like him with no talent can.
