Jordan Peterson condemns ‘trans-butchery of minor children’ as ‘a crime against humanity’

“I was told, you know, Xavier might commit suicide if you don’t (allow him to take puberty blockers)”
Every medical professional who has participated in so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors “should be put in prison for the rest of their lives” for committing these “crimes against humanity,” Jordan Peterson stated in an interview with British TV host Piers Morgan last week.
The best-selling Canadian author, clinical psychologist and journalist was responding to a revelation made during a podcast he conducted in July with business magnate Elon Musk. The owner of ‘X’ (formerly known as Twitter) shared how he was “tricked” into agreeing to give his son puberty blockers.
“I was essentially tricked into signing documents, for one of my older boys, Xavier,” Musk recalled at the time. “This is before I had really any understanding of what was going on.”
“I was told, you know, Xavier might commit suicide if you don’t (allow him to take puberty blockers),” he said.

“That was a lie right from the outset,” Peterson interjected during that podcast.
“No reliable clinician ever believed that,” he continued. “There was never any evidence for that. And also, if there’s a higher suicide rate, the reason is because of the underlying depression and anxiety and not because of the gender dysphoria. And every (…) clinician knows that too. And they are too cowardly to come out and say it.”
“I can’t imagine a therapist doing anything worse than that or sitting idly and remaining silent while his colleagues are doing it; it’s pathetic,” Peterson decried.
“So, I lost my son, essentially,” Musk lamented. “They call it ‘dead naming’ for a reason.”
“So my son Xavier is dead, killed by the woke mind virus,” he concluded.
“I think that every single medical professional and psychological professional who has played a role in facilitating the trans-butchery of minor children should be put in prison for the rest of their lives for crimes against humanity,” Peterson responded to Morgan last Thursday.
“It is the worst medical and certainly psychological scandal that I’ve ever seen in my entire life,” he continued. “It’s absolutely 100% unforgivable.”
At least the English-speaking west is suffering from a “psychological epidemic” manifesting itself in a “trans epidemic” based on “pathological” lies that are “beyond belief,” Peterson said.
In the U.S., “at least 8,000 young women (minors) have been subjected to double mastectomies,” the psychologist explained. “And I also know that puberty-blocking drugs are available outside the medical community in the black and gray market at a much higher rate than is occurring within the medical space.”
“And the liars say, ‘those children are now free to show their true identity,’ which is another complete bloody lie,” he emphasized. “It’s so unacceptable.”
Addressing the leftist political parties in the U.S. (Democrats), Canada (Liberals), and the U.K. (Labor), Peterson said, if they believe “it’s a good idea to free up young women in particular to find their true identities as men, there is something seriously sick about you. It’s inexcusable. It’s absolutely inexcusable. There is no evidence whatsoever for any of those gender transformation identity claims.”
Furthermore, he said “the more you know about that surgery, the more it will curdle your spine. It’s experimental medicine conducted by butchering sadists at its absolute worst. What they do to people to transform them into malfunctioning pseudo-members of the opposite sex is far beyond brutal.”
Additionally, evidence has shown “for a very long time that sadists are over-represented in the profession of surgery. And all you have to do is think for about 15 seconds before you can figure out why that might be,” he said.
By their nature, these procedures involving the “sterilization and mutilation of children” are “involuntary” because minors lack the capacity to consent to such “trans-butchery” and therefore such an intervention equates to “a crime against humanity in accordance with UN definitions.”
“And so I just think to call it reprehensible is to barely scrape the surface. And I don’t think it’ll stop till there are the right length of prison sentences for the people who’ve been involved in it,” Peterson concluded.

During the latest marathon cabinet meeting on Dec. 2, Energy Secretary Chris Wright made news when he told President Donald Trump that “The biggest determinant of the price of energy is politicians, political leaders, and polices — that’s what drives energy prices.”
He’s right about that, and it is why the back-and-forth struggle over federal energy and climate policy plays such a key role in America’s economy and society. Just 10 months into this second Trump presidency, the administration’s policies are already having a profound impact, both at home and abroad.
While the rapid expansion of AI datacenters over the past year is currently being blamed by many for driving up electric costs, power bills were skyrocketing long before that big tech boom began, driven in large part by the policies of the Obama and Biden administration designed to regulate and subsidize an energy transition into reality. As I’ve pointed out here in the past, driving up the costs of all forms of energy to encourage conservation is a central objective of the climate alarm-driven transition, and that part of the green agenda has been highly effective.

President Trump, Wright, and other key appointees like Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin have moved aggressively throughout 2025 to repeal much of that onerous regulatory agenda. The GOP congressional majorities succeeded in phasing out Biden’s costly green energy subsidies as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which Trump signed into law on July 4. As the federal regulatory structure eases and subsidy costs diminish, it is reasonable to expect a gradual easing of electricity and other energy prices.
This year’s fading out of public fear over climate change and its attendant fright narrative spells bad news for the climate alarm movement. The resulting cracks in the green facade have manifested rapidly in recent weeks.
Climate-focused conflict groups that rely on public fears to drive donations have fallen on hard times. According to a report in the New York Times, the Sierra Club has lost 60 percent of the membership it reported in 2019 and the group’s management team has fallen into infighting over elements of the group’s agenda. Greenpeace is struggling just to stay afloat after losing a huge court judgment for defaming pipeline company Energy Transfer during its efforts to stop the building of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
350.org, an advocacy group founded by Bill McKibben, shut down its U.S. operations in November amid funding woes that had forced planned 25 percent budget cuts for 2025 and 2026. Employees at EDF voted to form their own union after the group went through several rounds of budget cuts and layoffs in recent months.
The fading of climate fears in turn caused the ESG management and investing fad to also fall out of favor, leading to a flood of companies backtracking on green investments and climate commitments. The Net Zero Banking Alliance disbanded after most of America’s big banks – Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Wells Fargo and others – chose to drop out of its membership.
The EV industry is also struggling. As the Trump White House moves to repeal Biden-era auto mileage requirements, Ford Motor Company is preparing to shut down production of its vaunted F-150 Lightning electric pickup, and Stellantis cancelled plans to roll out a full-size EV truck of its own. Overall EV sales in the U.S. collapsed in October and November following the repeal of the $7,500 per car IRA subsidy effective Sept 30.
The administration’s policy actions have already ended any new leasing for costly and unneeded offshore wind projects in federal waters and have forced the suspension or abandonment of several projects that were already moving ahead. Capital has continued to flow into the solar industry, but even that industry’s ability to expand seems likely to fade once the federal subsidies are fully repealed at the end of 2027.
Truly, public policy matters where energy is concerned. It drives corporate strategies, capital investments, resource development and movement, and ultimately influences the cost of energy in all its forms and products. The speed at which Trump and his key appointees have driven this principle home since Jan. 20 has been truly stunning.

Innovative housing solution minimizes community impact while supporting the massive labour force needed for the Woodfibre LNG project.
The Woodfibre LNG project — a national leader in Indigenous partnerships and a cornerstone of global energy security — relies on a large construction workforce that drives economic prosperity across the region. For many of these workers, “home” is a ship.
Refitted from a cruise liner into a dedicated accommodation vessel, or “floatel,” this innovative solution houses up to 600 workers near Squamish, B.C., while keeping pressure off local housing and minimizing the project’s community footprint.
These exclusive images, captured a year ago, offer a rare retrospective look inside the original floatel. MV Isabelle X. With a second accommodation ship, the MV Saga X, recently arrived, this photo essay gives a timely, ground-level view of life aboard: individual cabins, a full-service dining hall, recreation spaces and custom laundry facilities. It’s a glimpse into the offshore dormitory that anchors daily life for the crew bringing this vital energy project to completion.

The ship arrived in B.C. waters in January after a 40-day journey from Estonia, where it had sheltered Ukrainian refugees, but the District of Squamish council voted three to four against a one-year permit for its use last week.
