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 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).
