Peterson tells questioner not to use trans sibling’s new name

What was said

"Well, I would say don't fall prey to the machinations of toxic compassion. leave here. Imagine 10 years from now and your brother and you have the best relationship you can imagine and things have worked out for him."

In an audience Q&A, Peterson responds to a questioner who says their teenage brother “has come out as a woman” and that they refuse to use the new name. Peterson advises against what he calls “toxic compassion” and urges the questioner to orient their actions around a long-term vision of a good sibling relationship rather than complying “in the moment”.
