Has Norway gone insane? this woman is looking at 3 years in prison if convicted

“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 reportedly said.
Ellingsen has also been accused by Amnesty International Norway of harassing Jentoft after arguing on national television that the trans-female activist was a male, according to The European Union Times.
“You are a man. You cannot be a mother,” Ellingsen reportedly told Jentoft. “To normalize the idea that men can be mothers is a defined form of discrimination against women.”
Ellingsen told Reduxx the police are questioning her “for campaigning for women’s rights,” arguing it was 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.”
“The fact that police are legally able to investigate and persecute women who engage in women’s rights is concerning,” Ellingsen added. “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.”
Last year, a Norwegian media reported a man was sentenced to three weeks in jail and a hefty fine after being found guilty of “insulting” and “misgendering” a trans person on Facebook.
