Jordan Peterson uploaded a document with screenshots of the complaints made against him to the College of Psychologists.

The first allegation is that he, a licensed psychologist, made a joke about suicide directed at someone on Twitter.

Here's what else it shows.

Strap in.

A tweet from Peterson during the "Freedom Convoy," when he "opined" children's aid didn't need to get involved.

Psychologists have to report when a child is in need of protection.

The complaint alleges the tweet undermined public trust in Peterson's judgement in this regard.

These screenshots summarize the documents the college looked at while investigating him (including tweets and Joe Rogan appearances).

They also show a summary of the college's key concerns, which included whether he was sharing fake info and tweeting harassment/abuse.

Complaint on the Joe Rogan podcast:

It argues JP is "undermining" his profession by pontificating "on areas well outside his areas of competence."

The complaint calls Peterson's comments "problematic, unethical or unprofessional" and raises concerns about his mental health.

It's worth noting that it appears Peterson added his own commentary above many of these complaints, saying many of the people filing them falsely claimed to be clients of his.

Throughout this document, we also see a lot of tweets about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's former top aide, Gerry Butts.

In the screenshots, Peterson calls Butts a "prik" and "stunningly corrupt" and tells him to "watch" himself.

There are also notes from an interesting conversation that appears to be between a licensed psychologist (name redacted) and a case manager at the College of Psychologists.

In it, the caller says that if they did "one tenth" of what Peterson has, "people would be all over me."

More screenshots, this time showing him calling an Ottawa city councillor who uses they/them pronouns a "thing" and also saying white supremacists "simply do not exist in Canada."

There's a lot of reporting that shows they do.

See: White Hot Hate podcast, or @rk_thorpe's work.

We also get to see a screenshot that Peterson mentioned in his recent column, which was directed at NZ's PM Jacinda Ardern.

He jokes about assembling a "dread army of the night" of "alt-right" trolls to "come back" around her.

He then implies his army are actually "ordinary."

Jordan Peterson's tweet about a plus-size swimsuit model, who he called "not beautiful" then shared clinical studies to claim overweight people aren't attractive:

A complaint said it's "dangerous" for a psychologist to say this given the prevalence of eating disorders in Canada.

There are also MANY complaints about statements Peterson has made about trans folks.

Complaints are raising concerns about the possibility that he could treat someone who is trans.

Here's a sample, along with a screenshot (I edited it because I'm not trying to get banned).

Finally, the COVID stuff.

It appears these are tied to the complaint about the Joe Rogan appearance.

The chief concern here is that Peterson is speaking publicly, as a licensed psychologist, about areas outside his competence.

Peterson's document also includes about 20 pages of his responses to the complaints.

He says he takes his ethical obligations on the social media communication front with "great seriousness" and that he surrounds himself with advisers and experts on a range of issues.

It's "difficult," he said, "to maintain proper communication with tens of millions of people when addressing the most contentious issues of our times."

"There are times when what constitutes the appropriate tone (as well as the appropriate content) is difficult to determine."

Peterson also addresses his interactions with Gerry Butts and Catherine McKenney.

He and Butts had reached an "amicable and mutually-agreed upon settlement" over the issue.

As for McKenney, who he repeatedly misgenders, he says he stands by his comments.

As for his appearance on Joe Rogan, he says he is still a clinical psychologist and adds that a controversial statement he made on the podcast was taken out of context.

He also says the college is "veering" close to political with its concerns about his Elliot Page comments.

The last few pages are his second response to the decision that he undertake mandatory social media training to keep his license, as well as the details of that decision.

TLDR: Jordan Peterson has made explosive allegations he's being "re-educated" for political views.

But the screenshots paint a very different picture: one of concern he might harm the mental health of the people he tweets at or about.

What do you think?
