Norway: Woman Faces Three Years in Prison For Saying Biological Men Can’t Be Lesbians. By Paul Joseph Watson.

While Americans merely face social media bans for saying men can’t be women, in some European countries, making the claim risks actual imprisonment. …

Christina Ellingsen — go to prison

Christina Ellingsen, of the global feminist organization Women’s Declaration International (WDI), is under police investigation for making the claim in a tweet in which she criticized the trans activism group FRI.

“Why [does] FRI teach young people that males can be lesbians? Isn’t that conversion therapy?” Ellingsen allegedly tweeted.

She also questioned the legitimacy of FRI’s advisor Christine Jentoft identifying as a lesbian despite being born a biological male.

Christine Jentoft – hurt feelings

“Jentoft, who is male and an advisor in FRI, presents himself as a lesbian — that’s how bonkers the organization which supposedly works to protect young lesbians’ interests is. How does it help young lesbians when males claim to be lesbian, too?” Ellingsen reportedly said.

“You are a man. You cannot be a mother,” Ellingsen allegedly told Jentoft. “To normalize the idea that men can be mothers is a defined form of discrimination against women.”

Hate speech laws:

Norway’s hate crime laws were made more draconian last year to make criticizing gender ideology a crime and Ellingsen faces up to three years in prison if she is convicted.

“To certain groups, the fact that women and girls are female and that men cannot be women, girls, mothers or lesbians, is considered hateful,” Ellingsen [said]. …

The precedent has already been set by a 2021 case where a Norwegian man was jailed for three weeks and fined for “misgendering” someone who identifies as transgender on Facebook.

Governments — or more specifically, the bureaucracy — make it their business to micromanage us ever more finely. Free speech is so old fashioned.
