Jordan Peterson Suspended From Twitter Due To 'Hateful' Remark About Elliot Page

Canadian clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson was recently suspended from Twitter for comments that he made about actor Elliot Page.

Peterson's daughter, Mikhalia Peterson, took to Twitter to say that the social media company was not a "free speech platform" after they asked him to delete the offensive tweet.

The offensive tweet in question read: “Remember when pride was a sin? And Ellen Page just had her breasts removed by a criminal physician.”

Mikhaila uploaded a screenshot to show that Peterson had Twitter found the tweet violated its policy against "hateful conduct," saying:

"You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease."

Twitter added, “We have determined that this account violated the Twitter Rules.” However, the tweet only issued a 12-hour ban and limited his account to only sending direct messages. They also told him that he is free to resume using Twitter once he deletes the offensive tweet.

However, it's likely that this isn't the first tweet that has violated Twitter's policies.

As reported by Red State, there are many more instances of offensive tweets that Jordan Peterson has made over the past year. In May, he reposted the photo of a Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model, writing, "Sorry. Not beautiful. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that."

However, he didn't seem to have a problem with Instagram model Paige Spiranac, saying, "Ok. She might be beautiful."

Last month, he also called out the first NFL trans cheerleader for the Carolina Panthers, tweeting, "Not beautiful either. Happy now Twitter trolls?"

Regardless of what Jordan Peterson has to say, Elliot Page feels much better about himself since coming out as trans.

In a recent interview on "Late Night with Seth Meyers," Page said, "I feel a way that I really never thought possible for a long, long time." He also explained how his "The Umbrella Academy" character mirrored his transition in the series' third season. 

Although the 35-year-old Oscar nominee admitted that he had plenty of "negative reactions" from strangers since he came out, Page told host Seth Meyers, "What I want to focus on right now and has been so extraordinary is the degree of joy that I feel, the degree of presence that I feel."

He continued, "I feel a way that I really never thought possible for a long, long time. So that's really what I'm focussing on and embracing the most. But, of course, moments can be overwhelming."

Page went on to explain that people have different "expectations, sort of limits and constraints" in their lives, which has caused an obsession over "how we're supposed to live our lives." He said, "To me, it'd be so special for us to all be able to connect and talk about how similar we are in all of our journeys."

During his appearance on the show, Page said, "It's a beautiful thing to experience now. Because a lot of the time my life was just trying to move forward, so getting to embrace the experience as much as I get to now. I think it's made me better in so many facets. As a person, as a friend, relationships."

As the interview came to a close, Meyers showed his support for Page, saying, "Personally, it is really lovely to hear how much joy it's brought you, and thank you so much for sharing it with us and continuing to make it a story that other people can hear."

During the interview, Page also revealed that his memoir, titled "Pageboy," will be released sometime next year.
