Woman Who Claimed Men Can’t Be Lesbians Faces Prison Term For ‘Criminal Transphobia’

A Norwegian woman is facing up to three years in prison on criminal hate-speech charges after claiming that a man cannot become a lesbian. 

Film maker Tonje Gjevjon, who is herself a lesbian, was told last month that she was under police investigation for ‘criminal transphobia’ after making a post on Facebook.

Infowars reports: Gjevjon lashed out on social media against trans-identifying males who call themselves “lesbians.” She also raged against the trans activists who have targeted her and others who oppose their gender ideology.

“It’s just as impossible for men to become lesbian as it is for men to become pregnant,” Gjevjon wrote in her post, translated on the social media site, adding, “Men are men regardless of their sexual fetishes.”

The artist later explained that her post was motivated by a desire to bring attention to Norway’s hate speech law, which was changed in 2020. At the time, the country’s parliament voted to make hate speech against individuals identifying as transgender illegal.

Tonje Gjevjon also singled out the personal attacks she had been subjected to from trans activists, in particular Norwegian trans activist, Christine Jentoft. The advisor on gender diversity for the Norwegian LGBT+ organization Foreningen FRI is a male who identifies as a lesbian mother. Jentoft is known for having filed a police complaint this year against Christina Ellingsen, a representative of Women’s Declaration International (WDI) Norway.

Jentoft was affronted by Ellingsen’s statement that men can neither be lesbians nor mothers, with a police investigation launched into Ellingsen’s alleged “transphobia.” Similarly to Gjevjon, the person is currently facing the possibility of being sentenced to up to three years in prison if found guilty.

Reflecting on the attacks she had been subjected to by trans activists over her stance, such as being disavowed by the art world back in 2017 and having her exhibitions cancelled, Tonje Gjevjon told local media:

“I was not prepared for the extent of how queer organizations, politicians and activists would demonize a lesbian artist who was not in step. Trans activists contact people I work with, portraying me as hateful and warning against being associated with me.”

  1. The old adage should be updated for the modern snowflake: “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but hurtful words are way way worse.” People who respect themselves are strong enough to shrug off insults, and people who don’t respect themselves don’t deserve any respect from others. For insults to become criminal matters is a sure sign of a sick society, filled with overgrown children.

    • Your naive Eg I I knew a man born without the correct chromosomes, he was from a Bush mining town very rough and criminal communities, the sort of communities that if the elite could would still have worked by convict Labour or slaves, and so grew up with a tough lot. Anyway later in life he wanted to Transition to female and started the process but his girlfriend objected because although he would ba a lesbian she wasn’t She didn’t want a girl friend.And then he realised he didn’t want a lesbian girlfriend either but once transitioned he wouldn’t magically became a homosexual, was still attracted to. Females as a heterosexual.
      “Nothing is what it seems” QE2.

  2. MAN if they hooked me up on that kind of BS I would start erasing every single one of them starting with the judge. FJB
