When teaching assistant Lindsay Shepherd played a 3-minute clip from a television show regarding the use of gender pronouns, she likely didnt expect shed be the subject of an official inquiry but thats exactly what happened.
On November 1, Shepherd, who teaches a "language use and writing skills component" tutorial for a larger communications class at Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario, Canada, played a clip in which University of Toronto professor, Jordan Peterson, debates Nicholas Matte over gender pronouns on the Canadian TV show, "The Agenda."
In the clip, Peterson argues against what he calls "compelled speech" regarding transgender pronouns like "zir" and "xe."
According to Shepherd, she took a completely neutral stance, neither condemning nor applauding Petersons position. However, one or more of her approximately 48 students filed a complaint with the school. As a result, Shepherd was censured, and brought in for a meeting with course professor, Dr. Nathan Rambukkana, Dr. Herbert Pimlott, and Adria Joel, Acting Manager of Gendered Violence and Sexual Assault Prevention and Support at the Diversity and Equity Office.
The meeting, which took place on November 8, was secretly recorded.
