Meanwhile, JP has MILLIONS of fans and is finally happy in life. While you have zero fans and is angry all the time. Open your mind. There is a reason more and more people are becoming conservative everyday. Because it's a happier, more fulfilling life. Trust me, once you decide to find new perspectives on life. You will never look back and it's a great feeling!
Your life must be incredibly depressing. There is a reason why more people are becoming conservative. Because it makes people happy. They finally see a new perspective on life and realize they don't have to live their lives angry all the time. I mean you wrote all this and literally no one cares. Meanwhile, JP has MILLIONS of followers and is happy. Unlike you people. Just open your mind for once and you will finally understand.
" 'Let's kill all the lawyers' is a line from William Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part 2, Act IV, Scene 2. The full quote is 'The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.' It is among Shakespeare's most famous lines, as well as one of his most controversial. Shakespeare may be making a joke when character 'Dick The Butcher' suggests one of the ways the band of pretenders to the throne can improve the country is to kill all the lawyers." ~ Wikipedia
"I display the times; I appeal to the age
The public is never advantaged
Certainly, mankind has not sacrificed its rights;
If mankind dared but to listen to the voice of its heart, changing suddenly the language,
It would say to us, as it would to the animals of the woods:
Nature created neither servant nor master;
I seek neither to rule nor to serve.
And its hands would weave the entrails of the priest,
For the lack of a cord with which to strangle kings." ~ Diderot (Translation by user Xocet on DU [via history.stackexchange])
Some governments seem to want or claim to want to encode in their rules they call laws (as if they are somehow immutable, like the laws of physics) what appear to be called something along the lines of 'rights for trans people'.
They appear, however, to look more like excuses for yet more micromanagement of their captive populations and maybe even attempts at divide-and-conquer, or at least foreseen and unforeseen consequences that might threaten that effect.
In this case, I offer at least one of Jordan Peterson's examples as illustration incidentally.
If some members of communities like 'trans', 'woke' or whoever wish to leverage the fundamentally-coercive-and-corrupt State legal apparatus in their interests it might help them to understand, or understand better, that that has costs, including possible boomerang effects, that may be unaffordable in the long run.
'Slippery-sloped' ('crossing the line') concerns expressed in this article seem to support my point.

Just a quick comment for now in the middle of the read...
I listened to the second video and didn't find it 'transphobic' per se, if that is the concern or argument...
I have read and considered the argument(s) against 'male trans' suddenly getting into 'female' sports and am inclined to agree, at least with the apparent main point about living most of one's life as a 'male' (so to speak, hence the single quotes), what with the physical benefits of added testosterone and muscle-mass-building, and the unfair competition when that person decides to 'compete' against 'females'.
In your and others' cases along similar lines, I might be tempted to caution against using too many possible 'doublespeaks' like 'conspiracy theory', 'transphobia' and/or 'white patriarchy' and the like, lest it risk corrupting both your readership's reading and perspectives as well as your own.

So the fact he called for killing trans people isn’t a concern? But I guess concern for you is not really doing any research on the subject: https://medium.com/@davidallsopp/trans-athletes-guarding-against-disinformation-61aa3185427d
