Because he disagrees with the idea of compelled speech and that conflicts with how some people self-identify.

Yes, that's precisely why I don't like him, thank you for articulating it so clearly! I want to compel the people around me to speak a certain way, and I have built an identity around that, and Peterson's cutting social commentary shakes me to my core.

</sarcasm>

Why don't you like him then?
For the things he says. I'd encourage you to look for criticism of him online. He his the obligatory subject of plenty of video essayist on Youtube, it's kind of a meme at this point.
Being a video essayist is a meme. Watching criticism of Peterson on YouTube is an even bigger waste of time than watching Peterson.
