Lesbian Norwegian actress faces prison time for saying 'men can't be lesbians'

The Norwegian government is investigating actress Tonje Gjevjon for saying that "men can't be lesbians". This comes after they investigated Eline Ellingsen- the head of a major women's rights organization- for posts she had made on the same subject.

While Gjevjon won't likely go to jail, it is still very concerning that the investigations are happening in the first place.

1. Our freedom of speech should never be taken for granted. Even in other so-called "liberal" countries, they have nothing protecting their speech like the US does.

2. What's up with Norway? Sweden and Finland have become more aware of the nuances surrounding this issue and have restricted youth gender transition accordingly. Is Norway just massively divergent from other Scandinavian countries on this or what? According to Google Translate, one of the claims she is being investigated for is that children shouldn't be allowed to transition after all.

Technically, she's not wrong. Men, and individuals who identify as men, use a different term, if I'm not mistaken.

Shocking, I know. Whoever could believe that this is another fake scare to make the transphobes the victims?

From the article you linked:

Several people have opened their eyes to what Gjevjon has criticized over five years, but society has nevertheless been subjected to the ideology around "gender identity", which has special protection .

Seems like a very normal article with no ulterior agenda related to demonizing trans people...

Good thing I transitioned before I became a man, allowing me to be a lesbian.

And if Norway is like the UK (and indeed other countries) police will be obliged by law to "investigate" anything that is claimed as a hate crime. That, in itself, means little.

People who identify as animals or fictional creatures obviously use different terminology from people who identify as human.

Okay, well I don't listen to Drake, so the context escapes me there.

Neither do I, I just heard the line somewhere and it's stuck with me since.

Came for the words "Lesbian" and "Norwegian".

Left disappointed.
