Screenshots posted online show the tweet in question from the Canadian clinical psychologist’s account, which states: “Remember when pride was a sin? And Ellen Page just had her breasts removed by a criminal physician.”
Page came out as transgender in 2020, declaring he would now be known as Elliot. Peterson, 60, is guilty of “deadnaming” the 25-year-old “Umbrella Academy” star, a source close to the Oscar-nominated actor explained, according to The Post.

Peterson, who joined the staff of conservative podcast outlet Daily Wire on Thursday, is infamous for his anti-trans stance. He once argued on Joe Rogan’s podcast that being transgender is an outcome of a “contagion” and similar to “satanic ritual abuse.”
A rep for Twitter confirmed to The Post that Peterson’s tweet “violated the Twitter Rules on hateful conduct. The account owner will need to delete the violative Tweet before regaining full access to their account.”

The controversy went viral when conservative political commentator Dave Rubin posted screenshots of the removed tweet online, writing, “The insanity continues at Twitter,” and arguing that Peterson “just told me he will ‘never’ delete the tweet. Paging @elonmusk.”

Peterson’s daughter, Mikhaila, further posted screenshots of the tweets online, taking aim at Twitter and Elon Musk, who has been working to acquire the social media platform.
“Wow. @jordanbpeterson got a Twitter strike. No more twitter until he deletes the tweet. Definitely not a free speech platform at the moment @elonmusk,” she wrote.

This is the latest in a string of beef the 60-year-old has had with the little blue bird social media platform. In May, Peterson boldly declared he was “quitting” the platform after he was called out for shaming Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model Yumi Nu, writing of the plus-size poser’s cover debut: “Sorry. Not beautiful. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that.”

In the meantime, Twitter has a history of booting individuals and even entire organizations, including the Babylon Bee, off the platform for not respecting trans people’s identities, Fox News reported.

A majority of Americans think that a person’s gender cannot be changed, according to a new survey published this week, which underscores the public’s complicated view of transgender issues.
IF BIDEN'S BORDER IS "SECURE," THEN WHY IS THE FBI ISSUING THIS ALARMING ALERT?
The Pew Research Center survey discovered that 60% of adults say “a person’s gender is determined by their sex assigned at birth.” That’s a four-point increase from the previous year — 56% in 2021 — and a six-point spike from 54% in 2017.
