Reality bites
Jail time for saying that men are not women.
A man in Switzerland is facing 10 days in prison after refusing to pay a fine for an “offensive” social media post. Emanuel Brünisholz, a wind instrument repairman from Burgdorf, was convicted under anti-discrimination laws for making [a] statement emphasizing skeletal evidence of binary sex.
It’s a crime in Switzerland to say that there are skeletal differences between women and men. The popes had their inquisitions and now the gender popes have theirs.
Brünisholz’s ordeal began in December of 2022 when he responded to a Facebook post by Swiss National Council member Andreas Glarner. In his comment, Brünisholz wrote: “If you dig up LGBTQI people after 200 years, you’ll only find men and women based on their skeletons. Everything else is a mental illness promoted through the curriculum.”
The reply, which highlighted the immutable nature of biological sex and played on a popular meme, quickly drew complaints from activists who filed reports with local police, alleging it constituted public incitement to hatred under Article 261bis of the Swiss Criminal Code.
Reality is a crime.
The Bernese judiciary determined that “through his comment published on Facebook, [Brünisholz] has publicly belittled the group of LGBT(Q)I people based on their sexual orientation and in a way that violates human dignity.”
Forced teaming strikes again. It’s not about sexual orientation, and the violation of human dignity is pretending that humans can change sex.
The ruling has ignited a firestorm on social media, with critics decrying it as a chilling example of “woke authoritarianism” infiltrating Swiss jurisprudence.
Daniel Stricker, a prominent commentator, highlighted the irony in a viral X post: “And the Swiss mainstream media whines about free speech restrictions in far-off America… Total silence on this case.”
Frying pan meets fire.
It looks like you double posted it. Or is it just indicating your double outrage against such a flagrant violation of rights?
This is really going to mess up forensic TV drama.
“All we have is a skeleton. We can’t say whether the victim was male or female, because that would be illegal.”
Papito, the same scenario applies with fresh corpses.
“We have an unidentified body, a white male…”
“Oh my God! Did you just assume that corpse’s gender?”
Forensic anthropology is one of my hobbies, and I can add that race is another hot potato. Yes, you can estimate a person’s geographical ancestry on the basis of the shape of the jaw, of the eye sockets, of the teeth, certain characteristics of the femur, etc. — it’s just that, according to The Woke, geographical ancestry is now a mere social construct which makes it off limits.
Exactly that. The fact that the comment referred to “LGBTQI people” and then said “everything else is a mental illness” allows people to think he was saying that all of “LGBTQI” is a mental illness, if they squint hard and don’t think too much about it. But only the “T” part (and possibly the “Q” part) rejects the idea that the skeleton can be identified by sex.
It’s entirely possible that Brünisholz was himself engaging in forced teaming. TRAs and gender conservatives alike are quite fond of building ideological narratives around “LGBTQI people.” Either way you end up with homosexuals somehow supporting the concept of gender identity by sole virtue of their same-sex attraction.
Well I think the likelihood is that he was responding to some formulaic blither about the LGBTQUIXYZ communniny and just retorted with the same stupid meaningless label.
