Norwegian actress Tonje Gjevjon faces a possible three-year prison sentence over a Nov. 17 Facebook post saying that men cannot transition into lesbians.
Norwegian transgender activist Christine Jentoft singled out Gjevjon, who is herself a lesbian, after she accused transgenders of impersonating and appropriating lesbian and female identities, feminist news site Reduxx reported. 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,” Gjevjon wrote, according to the outlet.
Jentoft, who identifies as a female lesbian mother despite being born male, accused Gjevjon of targeted hate speech, a charge that reportedly carries up to three years behind bars.
