Jordan Peterson tears into Trudeau for backing gender ideology: ‘Worst medical scandal ever’
From LifeSiteNews
In a scathing post directed at the Canadian prime minister, the prominent psychologist said ‘there is absolutely no excuse for what has been done on the ‘trans’ front. … In the same category as the medical ‘experiments’ under the Japanese and the Nazis in the 30s and 40s.’
Well-known anti-woke Canadian psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson accused the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for going along with the “worst medical scandal ever” after continuing to promote transgender ideology by not banning puberty blockers for children with gender confusion.
“Do you see this, you son of a bi**h? @JustinTrudeau,” Peterson posted Thursday on X (formerly Twitter).
“It’s time for the liars and the butchers not only to be stopped but to be prosecuted. There is absolutely no excuse for what has been done on the ‘trans’ front. It is the worst medical scandal ever, I believe. In the same category as the medical ‘experiments’ under the Japanese and the Nazis in the 30s and 40s.”
Peterson was commenting on a May 29 announcement from the British National Health Service (NHS) that in effect bans the prescribing of puberty blockers to “children and young people under 18 in England, Wales and Scotland.”
The UK’s “emergency ban” will last until September 3, 2024, and will apply to prescriptions written by “UK private prescribers and prescribers registered in the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland.”
LifeSiteNews has previously reported on how the NHS was forthcoming.
In Canada, healthcare falls under provincial authority, but the federal government does regulate which drugs can or cannot be approved for sale in the country.
Some provinces, such as Alberta, have taken action to ban puberty blockers as well as forever body-altering “top” or “bottom” surgeries for minors.
On January 31, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced what is the strongest pro-family legislation in Canada, protecting kids from life-altering so-called “top and bottom” surgeries as well as other forms of transgender ideology.
Alberta’s forthcoming regulations include a ban on so-called “top” surgeries (mastectomies, breast constructions) as well as “bottom” surgeries (vaginoplasties, phalloplasties) for children 17 and under. Puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones are also restricted to those age 16 and older, but only with parental consent.
The Trudeau government, however, has gone all in promoting transgenderism and gender ideology, as can be seen from their federal “2SLGBTQI+ Action Plan,” which gives $100 million in funding over five years for homosexual and transgender initiatives.
The Trudeau government also banned parents, counselors, and pastors from helping children accept their God-given bodies, via Bill C-4.
The bill bans so-called “conversion therapy” and punishes anyone helping children or others with gender confusion or unwanted same-sex attraction with jail time of up to five years. It is illegal in Canada for anyone to try and reverse a person’s orientation from homosexual to heterosexual, even if that person is an adult who is voluntarily seeking help.
Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre only recently voiced support for a ban on puberty blockers for minors, as well as Alberta’s ban on “transitioning” kids.
Peterson has called out Trudeau’s government as well as its promotion of extreme transgender ideology on many occasions.
A recent study, as reported by LifeSiteNews, gives unequivocal evidence that people who undergo so-called “gender reassignment” surgery are at higher risk of suicide — an astounding 12 times that of the general population.
When it comes to puberty blockers, which it should be noted are used to chemically castrate sex offenders, studies have shown they can devastate bone density in children. This puts them at risk of osteoporosis, fractures, and other serious injuries. The drugs also carry with them many other side effects, such as emotional disorders, pseudotumor cerebri, paralysis, renal impairment, sudden cardiac death, and stroke in men, as LifeSiteNews has reported.

By Newt Gingrich
In an amazing show of courage, Vice President J.D. Vance offered an intervention for some of our European allies.
That is the best way to think of the two historic speeches he made in France and Germany last week.
In Paris, Vice President Vance pledged the United States would do whatever it takes to lead the world in the development of Artificial Intelligence. He went on to assert that Europe’s automatic response to regulate technological change rather than adapt to it was doomed to fail.

Vance warned the Europeans that the Trump administration would retaliate to protect American high-tech companies from being fined and regulated by the European community.
Then, Vance went to the Munich Security Conference. It is the annual meeting of European leaders concerned about defense and threats to peace. The Vice President shocked the Europeans by launching a frontal assault on the decay of their political system.
As Vance put it:
“But while the Trump administration is very concerned with European security and believes that we can come to a reasonable settlement between Russia and Ukraine, and we also believe that it’s important in the coming years for Europe to step up in a big way to provide for its own defense, the threat that I worry the most about vis-à-vis Europe is not Russia, it’s not China, it’s not any other external actor. And what I worry about is the threat from within, the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values — values shared with the United States of America.”
He then went through a litany of specific complaints about the behavior of different European countries. They ranged from failing to control immigration, suppressing free speech, and Brussels seeking to control and define futures of independent countries such as Hungary and Romania.
The leading French newspaper, Le Monde (their equivalent of the New York Times) asserted that the American Vice President was declaring “ideological war on Europe.”
Le Monde was right. The European elites have been decaying for at least two generations. They hide behind their privileged status and take ideological positions that feel good but are destructive. Europe’s failures are devastating for most everyday Europeans.
I have personal knowledge about this. I have a Ph.D. in Modern European History – and I have lived in France, Germany, Belgium and Italy. As a young Army dependent, we were living in France when the French Army came back from Algeria, killed the French Fourth Republic and brought back General Charles de Gaulle to establish the Fifth Republic.
It is now the longest serving non-royal government in French history.
The European elites value each other’s opinions more than they value serving the people of Europe. The European elites live in a fantasy world of green policies that destroy industries and jobs, welfare policies which destroy the work ethic, and immigration policies which undermine the popular culture. They simply hope for a peaceful world without a strong military.
Meanwhile, state enforced speech codes protect Islamic extremists at the expense of local citizens.
The result has been a steady decline of European culture, economic development, and defensive capacity.
The Afghan Islamist who wounded more than two dozen people and killed a mother and her two-year-old daughter with a car two days before the supposed security conference signals the willful avoidance of reality at the heart of the elite European worldview.
To be clear, I admire European civilization. I believe America is far stronger and safer if Europe is healthy and capable of growing and defending itself.
I hope vice president Vance’s intervention at least starts European elites thinking about what must be done to revive their continent.
