A Canadian social worker’s claim that she was fired by her government employer over private tweets about her gender views and her association with Jordan Peterson has been confirmed by the best-selling author and podcast host.

Peterson could not be reached for comment, but he tweeted on Feb. 10 that the social worker’s account is “true,” and that she is using an alias “because of nonstop harassment.” He posted the link to a GoFundMe crowdfunding campaign organized by the woman, who is going by the name of Reena Kaur.
