Christina Ellingsen, who toils for a feminist outfit called Women’s Declaration International, would of course be wildly applauded if she refused to make a sandwich for a man.
But if she refuses to say a man can’t be a lesbian, well, that means boos and hisses. Ellingsen did just that, and faces three years in jail if convicted of the “hate crime.”
Ellingsen’s WrongThink appeared in a tweet and on television, which invited not only the attention of Amnesty International but also, more ominously, Norway’s speech police.
Thus has “gender madness,” at least in Norway, reached another milestone. As Islamic fanatics take over the streets, the cops focus on feminists who state biological facts.
State Facts, Land in Jail
The gender gendarmes went after Ellingson because of her squabble with a man who pretends he is a woman, “Christine” Jentoft. He toils for FRI, the Norwegian Organization for Sexual and Gender Diversity.
Jentoft’s Twitter page says his name is Christine, not “CIStine,” and claims he is a “mother.” Some men think they’re Napoleon, too, but anyway, Ellingson was having none of it.
Reported the feminist Reduxx:
“Why [does] FRI teach young people that males can be lesbians? Isn’t that conversion therapy?” Ellingsen tweeted in October 2021.
A second tweet that has been cited as evidence of hate speech reads, “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 was recently accused by Amnesty International Norway of harassing Jentoft after telling him on national television that he was male.
“You are a man. You cannot be a mother,” Ellingsen had said, “To normalize the idea that men can be mothers is a defined form of discrimination against women.”
After speaking with her lawyer earlier this week, Ellingsen told Reduxx she had learned that the police report made against her was filed by Jentoft himself.
Ellingson’s problem, of course, isn’t that she’s wrong. It’s that she ran afoul of Norway’s nutty hate-crime laws, which criminalized criticizing gender ideology last year. If convicted, Ellingsen might land in jail for three years.
“I am under police investigation for campaigning for women’s rights, because 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 told Reduxx:
“Women are not protected against hate speech in Norway, but men who claim to be both lesbian and a woman, are protected both on the grounds of gender identity and on the grounds of sexual orientation,” Ellingsen said.
“The fact that police are legally able to investigate and persecute women who engage in women’s rights is concerning. This is new territory in Norway, so the outcome of the investigation is important, both if the case is dismissed and if it leads to trial.”
A Woman Is a Woman
Unimaginably, Ellingsen’s WDI had the temerity to push the same retrograde line: A man is a man, and a woman is a woman.
“A Woman is an adult human female,” WDI tweeted:
It is physically impossible to change sex. Gender identity refers to a person’s subjective convictions, and to persecute women for refusing to accept subjective convictions they do not agree to, is a human rights violation.
Women must have the right to correctly sex men, to refuse men’s subjective convictions and to freely express what they see with their own eyes without facing criminal persecution.
How long before police toss the whole bunch in jail is unknown. But make no mistake, the cops are serious about it.
“In 2021, a Norwegian man was sentenced to 21 days in prison and a fine of 15,000NRK after being found guilty of ‘insulting’ and ‘misgendering’ a trans-identified male on Facebook,” Reduxx reported. That’s about $1,587.
“Gender” insanity has reached the point that police in England wasted time to investigate a “hate crime” that involved a “transgender woman” who couldn’t get a role in a porno movie because she — meaning he — hadn’t lopped off his penis.
