MUSK: It occurred to considered one of my older boys, the place I used to be primarily tricked into signing paperwork for considered one of my older boys, Xavier. This was earlier than I actually had any understanding of what was occurring. We had COVID occurring and so there was plenty of confusion. You understand I used to be instructed Xavier would possibly commit suicide.
PETERSON: That was a lie proper from the outset. No dependable clinician ever believed that. There was by no means any proof for that. And if there was the next suicide fee, it was due to the underlying despair and nervousness due to the gender dysphoria. And each God rattling clinician is aware of that too. And they’re too cowardly to come back out and say it.
Once I noticed that lie begin to propagate it simply made the again of my hair get up. So that you’re telling mother and father that until they comply with this radical transformation that their kids are going to die and also you suppose that’s ethical and also you suppose that’s true. That’s so pathological that it’s nearly incomprehensible. I can’t think about a therapist doing something worse than that.
MUSK: It’s extremely evil. And I fully agree that folks selling this could go to jail.
PETERSON: It received’t cease until that occurs. It should simply go underground. Puberty blockers are being accessed by youngsters on a regular basis by way of non medical channels.
MUSK: So I used to be tricked into doing this. It wasn’t defined to me how puberty blockers are literally sterilization medicine. I misplaced my son primarily. They name it deadnaming for a purpose. The rationale it’s known as deadnaming is as a result of your son lifeless. My son Xavier is lifeless. Killed by the woke thoughts virus.
PETERSON: I’m sorry to listen to that. I can’t consider what that have to be like.
