Gender variability as declarations in JavaScript: const / let / var
Meme is based on Jordan Peterson “approival / disapproval” format, him being a conservative who disapproves of gender fluidity.
Transcript:
- Jordan Peterson approval image: const gender;
- Jordan Peterson angry image: let gender;

I interpret it a bit differently. After all, a variable declared with
var
isn’t really more capable of being rebound, or bound to more values, than one declared withlet
. However, it is possible, withvar
, that setting a variable in one place could change it unexpectedly in another, so Rose Noble coming out as trans could cause Jordan Peterson to also suddenly be a woman.
