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 tweets in question were replies directed at
Thanks for the interesting collection of reports, depressing as usual, of course. Particularly more stuff about how coopted the police have become into doing the work of these hateful bigots. And the lies too! Like the guy who claims not to have associated penises with men, he is a bare face bullshitter with a porn addled, misigynists brain.
And these are the ones seen as vulnerable and 'the most marginalised' group? The ones who have police, politicians, multiple institutions and organisations in their pockets. Women, and men who don't hate women are going to have to abandon their fears and confront this oppressive, malevolent force and the bastards controlling it head on, and keep doing it. The tyrants can't harass, arrest and prosecute everyone. Just as they can't threaten and push everyone out of their jobs and professions. This monster feeds on fear, let's starve it.
When did stating biological truths become a crime? I'm still trying to wrap my head around this...
Ellingsen is frankly a heroine for standing up to this madness. Norway looks like it's the future for countries like Germany (as I lay out here: https://twoplustwo.substack.com/p/i-identify-therefore-i-am-the-illusion), where Self ID and changes to the law are just getting traction. Like in Scotland where the new Self ID law is very likely to be passed. How to stop this?!
Thanks for investigating and following up on the story. Good work.
It's so obvious it really hurts. Keep in mind the thresholds that have to be met in order for the police to start investigations about say, public remarks about refugees, immigrants, Muslims, Jews, or gay and lesbian people - all of them are being discriminated against, harassed or insulted to varying degrees - and one might argue even increasingly even in the Scandinavian countries. Just look at Denmark and Sweden, and I'm pretty sure Norway is not different in this respect in principle.
Rightfully, these thresholds are relatively high, and society relies on its members to engage most forms of derogatory remarks against groups who are discriminated against politically, not by law enforcement.
Let alone that anyone would be investigated for stating universally recognized facts about any of the aforementioned groups or pretty much anyone else. Let's consider a banal statement such as "Gays and lesbians are not heterosexual". No one in their right minds would consider that hate speech, least of all gays and lesbians.
It's just with transpeople that stating universally recognized and obvious facts becomes a hate crime. And there is no debate about it in societies that have introduced such laws - or almost none. That is f...g scary.

The twitter thread is great. I’m not a user - are there any readers here that can ask for a unroll?
