May be sent to a women's prison

"Oh dear, don't tell me this is some TERF screed... Well, it could also be the opposite, right? But I'm smelling a dead dove here..."

The perpetrators were three men, two of them transgender

"Either this is a very progressive way to cover two trans men, or a very regressive way to cover two trans women."

Identifying as women

"Yahari."

[interview with some TERF calling the Norwegian state's respect for the women's gender a "parody of political correctness", accusing trans women of being men trying to sneak into women's spaces, repeatedly emphasizing how the SA was penetrative using their "male organs"

"Eugh......."

[doesn't even interview anyone who isn't a TERF, leaving that person's stances completely unchallenged]

"Yup, it's manufacturing consent time!"

This wasn't some obscure publication, either, this was Nettavisen — Norway's first online-only news publication, founded in 1996, owned by the conglomerate Amedia, with a revenue of some 171.3 mln NOK (2021), so it's in fact one of the most popular news publications in the country.

News in this country has been increasingly embracing TERFism and other transphobia. I'm getting a bit worried about it.

I hate how the sick and disgusting terf ideology is metastasizing to the rest of the west. Relatively progressive social was one of our few redeeming features — we are racist, imperialist scumbags but at least we're somewhat normal to LGBTQ people — and now we can't even have that. We were just about to achieve the kind of normalisation for trans people that gay people have had and now it's all being called off to protect the precious feelings of a handful of weird mold-brained wankers.

Meanwhile the same pricks who are spreading this filth have no problems crying crocodile tears over the fate of queer people in enemy non-Aryan countries.

I recently came across a website cataloguing the sex/violent crimes of trans and gender nonconforming people.

anti trans fanaticism and bigotry; no details/quotes included but a very vile vibe

It's really, really horrific. Not a mainstream website itself but it does link to all kinds of mainstream media reports using all kinds of language. There is a lot of gloating about how news outlets tried to use correct nomenclature but "backlash" so walked it back. And the website is so... long. Clearly very labor intensive to compile and looked like consistent work for a long time. Of course if these data points were to be viewed in context of all crime, or all trans people, they wouldn't look significant, but as a giant pile of anecdotes seemingly substantiated by mainstream reporting could be compelling. And it is people's full dead/current names, photos, whereabouts, biographical details. Such nasty language with violent, inciting tone.

They are of course always confused about what to do about trans men. It seems they are upset that media refer to trans men as women and deadname them, compared to what they perceive as excessively respectful treatment of trans women. I guess they feel some conflict about trans men still being subjected to patriarchy. It seemed they were doing that thing where pronouns are avoided entirely vs the gratuitous misgendering when writing about women. On the one hand, don't want to acknowledge them as men. On the other hand, don't want to make it look like women could be doing such violence, and it would defeat the point of the website. They don't want trans women in women's prisons but also object to trans men in men's facilities. The impression is more like they've created an alternative gender/pronoun of CRIMINAL/DEVIANT to assign people and they shouldn't go anywhere. Very scary all around.

I remember people doing this with Ezra Miller. Only cis people are allowed to retain their identity after committing crimes.

Or diddy. If he committed crimes to just girls, people wouldnt care, but since it includes boys, suddenly "diddy" became a "meme" (aka shorthanded for gay).

Same bullshit they pulled over gays and lesbians on the verge of getting rights.

Anticipating most of the high profile people pushing this shit to be absolutely projection predators themselves just like it was with the anti gay bullshit.

One would think people would remember this stuff as it is very recent history. So sad outlets would even publish shit in this light yet again.
