How could
any sane person prepare themselves for such a time as this?
Tonje Gjevjon, a Norwegian artist and lesbian, was
recently informed that she was being investigated by the police for engaging
in “hate speech” because of a Facebook post she made stating that men
can’t be lesbians. Gjevjon could spend up to three years in prison for stating
an obvious, immutable truth.
Gjevjon wrote, “It’s just as impossible
for men to become lesbian as it is for men to become pregnant. Men are men
regardless of their sexual fetishes.”
Daring to question or criticize the trans community will
get a person promptly and virulently attacked by trans activists, a
particularly aggressive and noxious group. This seems especially true if you
are a plain old, traditional, garden-variety lesbian.
Gjevjon says she posted her Facebook message with the
deliberate intention of shining a light on Norway’s hate speech law, which was
amended in 2020 to essentially make criticizing people who identify as
transgender illegal.
In 2021, Gjevjon told Anette Trettebergstuen, a Labour
Party politician, “I believe it is absolutely necessary to place biological sex
as the basis in all contexts where sex has legal, cultural, or practical
relevance, and that equating sex with gender identity has harmful,
discriminatory consequences for women and girls – especially lesbians.”
She then asked Trettebergstuen, “Will the Equality
Minister take action to ensure that lesbian women’s human rights are
safeguarded, by making it clear that there are no lesbians with penises, that
males cannot be lesbians regardless of their gender identity, and by tidying up
the mess of the harmful gender policies left behind by the previous
government?”
Trettebergstuen replied, “I do not
share an understanding of reality where the only two biological sexes are to be
understood as sex. Gender identity is also important.” Say what? Trettebergstuen does
not share an understanding of reality. That much is true.
The courageous Gjevjon also wrote
in Klassekampen, a Norwegian daily newspaper: “I have stated that women are female, that lesbians do not have
penises, that children should not be responsible for decisions they do not have
the capacity to understand the scope of, and that no-platforming is harmful to
democracy. For these opinions I have been canceled several times.” She says she
has been pushed out of the art community for her views, adding, “I was not
prepared for the extent of how queer organizations, politicians and activists
would demonize a lesbian artist who was not in step.”
She should have been.
The concept of “woman” has been put through the
ringer, pushed, prodded, and brutalized in recent years. To everyone’s shame. In
fact the term has, literally, been redefined.
When a society reaches a point that it can’t even
agree on inarguable physical facts, it is near the point of no return. If we
can’t agree that males have penises and can’t get pregnant, or that elephants
are large mammals with tusks and a trunk, on what are we going to be able to
agree?
If we all must play along with ridiculous banalities
like, “sex is something that is just arbitrarily assigned at birth,” we
might as well just pack it in now. It is not arbitrary. And God does the
“assigning.”
Where once we sought truth,
we now seek only what makes us feel better about ourselves in the short term.
Progressives defining
characteristic is that they don’t believe in definitions.
Men and women are
indefinable, just like everything else. In fact, women can be men, and
men can be women.
Chaos will reign.
What a drag.
