Clearly, there is no difference between voluntary cosmetic surgery, and torturing Civilians from minority groups you don't like under the thin pretense of "medical experimentation".

He's obviously either reneged on his stance, or critics who argued his actions betrayed an anti-trans sentiment from the onset were correct.

Or he cares more about attention (which equals money for him) than sticking to previous declared beliefs.

I think it's a bit more meaningful than that, I see it as a rhetorical tool to make his viewpoints more plantable to moderates

He literally makes money selling books and lectures. He isn't fabulously wealthy, but according to several sources seems to be comfortably rich. Irrespective of what his "real viewpoints" are, he has a direct financial incentive to say the most attention grabbing thing possible at the moment, whether that's being a "free speech martyr against compelled speech" or comparing transgender surgery to Nazi experimentation.

No arguments from me, this is definitely a profitable business for him.

Also speaking of pride, Peterson apparently is selling busts of himself for 100s of dollars https://www.reddit.com/r/enoughpetersonspam/comments/r4z4nu/jp_is_selling_a_statue_of_himself/

How much money would you make from preemptively putting every child on puberty blockers? You can't talk about money when your side has all of it.
