At the very least he espouses and/or promotes homophobic and transphobic ideas.

To say gay people cannot provide as good parenting as heteresexual parents or to make a big fuzz and mischaracerize a law aiming to protect transgender people from discrimination and saying mislabeling people should not be considered harrasment or part of a hatecrime by the state (and to hide behind free speech and to mask it by saying, "well, if I was talking at an individual I would use whatever pronoun goes along with the persona they are projecting publicly") is at the very least espousing and/or promoting homophobic and transphobic ideas.
On a side note, all three videos linked provide yet more examples of Peterson's pseudo intellectualism.

If it turns out that kids with gay parents on average function a little bit worse than these from heterosexual parents, and you have a scientist potining that out it is not sexist. It is just someone who says bitter truth, regardless of what we would like it to be. Now I did not do a research on this and I don't know if it's true, but calling this statement sexist just because it does not fit to your political view is improper in my opinion. He never said he's happy about this. He may be wrong, but then provide research on that topic, don't just call him names.
The "fuzz" was not at all about transgender thing. I can see that you already decided that the free speech argument is just to "hide" his true motifs, but I would like to know how can you know that? JBP spent his whole life analyzing a corrupted states, how they evolve, impact and finally destroy human individuals, but you prefer not to believe he trurly cares about that and just call him transphobic instead...
The "persona" should not controversial since we all project certain characteristics in public space or rather "outer world" which was called by Jung "persona" and JBP was just reffering to that.

yeah, there we go.
There's no evidence that homosexual parenting leads to worse outcomes, there's a lot of research on this, a public "intellectual" should know better before talking out of his ass, especially about groups of people who are victims of discrimination, hate and crime in a disproportionate manner. b) His whole argument was bunk anyway because he shifted to single parents without skipping a beat to justify his promotion of homophobic ideas. And to further his ridiculous, evidence-less caim about "mother dad offspring" being the minimum viable family unit. (And I didn't say anything about sexist by the way. Although he is indeed sexist too.)
If watching the linked video doesn't affect your perception on Peterson's arguments on the trans question and how much of a fraud he is, there's not much else I can add.
Have a good one.
