A Norwegian feminist faces three years in prison for offending transgender activists after she tweeted that men can’t be lesbians.
“Christina Ellingsen, a representative of feminist organization Women’s Declaration International (WDI) is being investigated under hate crime charges for tweets she made between February 2021 and January 2022,” the feminist website Reduxx reports.
“The tweets in question were replies directed at Christine Marie Jentoft, a representative of trans activist group Foreningen FRI. Jentoft is a male who identifies as a lesbian woman,” Reduxx reports.
#LetWomenSpeak ! Norwegian police has opened an investigation against Norway's country contacts for @DeclarationOn, Christina Ellingsen, over tweets stating that men cannot be women. The accounts that has made such statements include @_cellingsen, @wdiNorway and @MatriarkenN .

“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 tweeted.
“You are a man. You cannot be a mother,” Ellingsen allegedly told Jentoft on a TV program. “To normalize the idea that men can be mothers is a defined form of discrimination against women.”
Ellingsen is part of a feminist movement who see transgender activism as a threat to biological women. They are often derided by fellow liberals as “TERFs” or “trans-exclusionary radical feminists.”
Ellingsen tells Reduxx Jentoft reported her to police, who are conducting an investigation.
Under Norway’s “hate crime” laws it is a criminal offense to criticize someone’s gender identity. Ellingsen could face three years in prison if convicted of the tweets.
“In 2021, a Norwegian man was jailed for three weeks and a substantial fine for being found guilty of misgendering and insulting a person who identifies as trans on Facebook,” Reclaim The Net reports.

forcing speech and thought- that is truly criminal
Making it illegal to speak the truth, simply because it challenges the delusion of another, only fosters unhealthy mental illness and creates circumstances that will drive sane people insane. Absurd laws like this will only cause mental illness to thrive like a contagion.
What’s scary is that it seems it might be like this here soon too…
Schmuckness !!
It would appear billions in North Sea oil money does not confer sanity, never mind wisdom.
So a guy does it and he gets a 3 week sentence. A woman does it and gets 3 years? Her comments were very truthful. She didn’t demean trans-sexuals, only drawing a line to say that if you are a biological male then your interest in women is relatively normal. Attaching a label to yourself that confuses the meaning of the term “lesbian” is misleading. Just because someone is offended by your or my comments doesn’t make it hate speech.
The World is not just turning, rather it is in a Downward Spiral where things that are existing, no longer are to be accepted, but things that aren’t and could never be, are put in place to be revered and cherished, like Men who think they are Women, challenging Women in Sports events because they seem to be unable to compete with other Men and since they have different Strengths than Women feel more comfortable competing against Women!
Jailing People Who refuse to believe other People’s Thoughts or Beliefs, no matter how shallow those unproven beliefs may be is somewhat of a conundrum for those of us that still believe that “Nature Exists” and the “Thought Processes” of a “Twisted Mind” cannot and should not prevail
such as any given individual having “Wishful Thoughts” about changing their Sex or having any pressure placed upon them at an early age in life by a “So-called” Educator or someone “Posing” as one! Those that Criminalize
the practice of calling a Man a Man and a Woman a Woman have no right to penalize the Freedom of Speech of others!
She is absolutely right! No matter how you change your physical appearance you a man cannot become a woman, not even if he changes his genitalia! He will have to change his male chromosomes for a women’s one. So happy that the government and leaders can’t be God! What will they do when they meet God?
Filthy stinking transvestites!!!! They are the insect lowlife from hell and I will go against these sick freaks everytime!! If one of these sick freaks dares to even come anywhere near one of my kids, I will put them 6 feet under!! KEEP YOUR DIRTY HANDS OFF OUR CHILDREN OR DIE!!!!!!!!
Nuts!!
