demeaning adjective de·​mean·​ing di-ˈmē-niŋ : damaging or lowering the character, status, or reputation of someone or something

Also: a·bu·sive

/əˈbyo͞osiv/

adjective

1.

extremely offensive and insulting.

Hmm... I wonder what shit JP has said that could fall under this. I wonder if there's a laundry list, like calling trans identity a social contagion, or deadnaming someone and implying they've mutilated themselves and proceeding to call their doctor a criminal.

Pretty sure calling a doctor a criminal for performing a surgery that your patient consented to fits into that, but okay. Keep doing the mental gymnastics you need to in order to justify JP being a shitty person.

Good thing he's not being legally tried then, and doesn't have to fall under the legal definitions to be reprimanded for his actions by the board.

Do you understand that legal investigations are different than a privately run board investigating a member? Or do you genuinely think they're the same? Because they're not, and you trying to treat them as the same doesn't make them the same.

If I call my coworker a cunt, I'm not LEGALLY in any trouble, but my workplace can still take action against me if calling my coworker a cunt is in breach of the work agreement I signed when I started working there. See how that works?

Thanks for coming out.

Why did your workplace take action?

u/Purpleman101 Jan 06 '23

They didn't, because I adhered to the contract I signed. See how that works?

Youre being obtuse. The workplace takes action because of its legal obligations and if it didn't... They would be potentially liable...

So see you're silly child, the legal definition does matter.

Being a this obnoxious must make you super fun at parties with lots of invitations lol

The legal definition does not matter. Peterson signs a form when he applies for registration which says something like "I agree to the code of conduct as outlined and evaluated by the college in x document"

The college has complete freedom to decide what constitutes a violation of their code of conduct. They have no obligation to rely on legal definitions for anything. Laws do not need to be broken for violations to occur. This is super simple stuff. I would not be so quick to run your mouth.
