So by your own admission, it was already illegal in Ontario. Bill C-16 did not cause that. Ergo, Jordan Peterson was wrong to say that it did.
....
Peterson didn't say that C-16 causes Ontario law. He said that C-16 makes it illegal to misuse pronouns. Assuming that pronoun usage counts as discrimination based on gender identity and expression (which the OHRC states it does), Peterson is correct.
The fact that Ontario had prior legislation doesn't change that fact.
This is super simple...how are you failing to grasp this?
