Something disturbing has happened in Norwegian, Danish and Western media in recent years: an uncritical adoption of an ideologically charged word that really should never have been normalised – the term queer.

In Norwegian we are inundated with the translation «queer» (In Norwegian: Skeiv).

The term queer is used as an umbrella term for people who are not heterosexual or accepting of their own gender, i.e. those who do not identify with the gender they were assigned at birth and are sexually attracted to the opposite sex. Queer can also be used as an identity for those who do not fit into traditional categories of sexuality and gender.

In other words: Queer means people with mental disorders who are unable to accept the body they were born in. Previously this was recognised as a mental disorder, but activists have been pushing for it to be accepted as the new normal.

That’s why activists start early by trying to convince 2-year-olds in kindergarten that they might not be a boy or a girl. Two-year-olds think they’re trolls or tigers, so it’s an easy task.

The first time I heard this word used was in Norwegian state television NRK’s Nattrock programme in the early 1980s. NRK is always early to embrace idiocy.

Strangely, the same activists are just as eager to fight for (in their own words) completely healthy people to be given around 20 million kroner in «free» healthcare to repair the fact that they were «born in the wrong body».

Norways Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Oslo-mayor Raymond Johansen waved their tassels during the Pride parade to show how inclusive they are, with unattractive sweat under their arms. Erna Solberg waving her overweight breasts. Everyone must be included! Gender is soooo 20th century. What if these politicians concentrated on something other than destroying Norway’s economy and moral (and rational) consciousness?

It’s not about being homophobic. I’ve had gay friends for 40 years, but they were not brain dead. They KNEW they were boys (or girls). They just fell in love with someone of the same sex.

The Queers are something completely different. They want to change the entire worldview. Only men who call themselves trans women are real women, while the truly real women are given the despicable term cis-women.

The word cis-woman is an insult used by the trans mafia to describe all women who are not totally gender confused.

For me, it’s simple: If a person declares that he/she is queer, I immediately conclude: Idiot. If a person is a lesbian or gay, I couldn’t care less, they haven’t lost their mind even if they fall in love with someone of the same sex.

When people demand that you use pronouns of your choice, I get as interested as if a girl in a hijab wants contact: it’s an expression of disgust for common sense, science and humanity. If I end up in a shop with only one checkout and there is a hijabi sitting in front of the cash register, I am naturally polite and behave properly. But socialising is out of the question, because what’s the point?

The same goes for obvious men who demand that I address them with female pronouns. I seriously don’t want to waste my time with that.

In fact, I’ve worked with two so-called transgender people. In those cases, I used the preferred pronoun because it wasn’t an explicit requirement. Neither of them were trans activists either, just people with a slightly odd personality, meant in a positive way.

Interestingly, there are now protests from what NRK and DR would probably call queer without scruples. The Dansk Regnbueråd is, in their own words, “an anti-skewed, cross-political organisation for lesbians, gays and bisexuals”. Their anti-bias views include that lesbian women should not be forced to be attracted to self-proclaimed women with penises. They write on Facebook:

Today, queer is used in the media, here by Go’morgen Danmark, almost unreflectively as a generic term for everything and everyone who in one way or another does not identify as heterosexual. In the spirit of the woke era, it seems «progressive» and inclusive. But the reality is the exact opposite.

Historically, they point out, queer has been a derogatory slur.

It means weird, different, disgusting. It’s a word that has been used against gays and lesbians for decades to humiliate and ostracise them. That the media, in a misguided eagerness to be modern, now turns it into a neutral or even positive concept of identity is not a sign of progress but of amnesia and ideological fear.

They compare the use of the word queer to the use of the word «n*gger» for black people.

A word with an ugly history that some minority groups have apparently tried to reclaim, but which no self-respecting editorial team would use without risking fire. Yet today, Danish media continue to write about queer people, queer culture and queer communities without a shred of self-examination.

In this new world, it is problematic if a woman and lesbian does not want to have sex with trans women (i.e. biological men). In this world, it is offensive to favour a particular biological sex. And in this world, children are potential subjects for irreversible gender reassignment experiments.

The use of the word queer undermines gay people’s struggle for rights and acceptance, says the Rainbow Council. Ordinary gays and lesbians are being stripped of their independent identity.

Gays and lesbians are being turned into a kind of ideological raw material for the broader woke movement, bending the boundaries and reality of the individual so as not to «offend anyone».

The media’s use of queer is therefore not innocent. It is part of a larger movement that seeks to dissolve not only language, but also reality. It’s time for editors and journalists to wake up and ask themselves who they are speaking on behalf of – and who they are stepping on.

We who grew up gay in a world where queer was used as a slogan against us watch in horror as that word is now twisted and turned in the mouths of educated media professionals who think they are doing us a favour.

They are not.

So the call is clear: Drop the word queer. Now. Please.

Please.

Please respect the history and the people this word has been used against. Talk about gays and lesbians if that’s what you mean. And if you really want to support us, please listen when we speak.

We have fought for the right to be visible as gay people – not to be swallowed and whispered into a leftist ideological veil.

It’s not hard to give your full support to this anti-woke gay movement. It’s time to crush the use of the word queer, the most despicable and abused word in the dictionary.

The Danish Rainbow Council is also conscious when it comes to science, stating on its website that 80-90 per cent of so-called gender confused children accept their innate gender as long as they avoid knives and drugs before they reach puberty. Admittedly, many (around 80 per cent) of these children are homosexual. But they retain their gender and fertility, unlike all the victims of this macabre game.
