Sure they can be Lesbians; if they were born on the island of Lesbos, they’re Lesbians.

Oh; natives of Lesbos call themselves Lesvonians these days? Pedantry.

People in jail now have to figure out whether they can rape her or not for saying that.

I remember saying this several years ago...as a stupid joke, mocking the gender bending idiocy. Now somebody in Norway is facing prison for saying it isn’t possible.

Yes, it is Orwellian.

Pretty OBVIOUS as to why the West is on its last days.

Coming to a town near you. Find a place of safety because it will be much worse than this.
