Danish Psychotherapist Faces Lawsuit Over Misgendering and Defamation Allegations
A Danish woman is being sued for $14,000 following accusations of "harassment and defamation" due to her use of masculine pronouns to refer to a trans-identified male. The gender identity of the individual in question is not explicitly clear from the initial statement.
Psychotherapist Lotte Ingerslev, who is known for her criticisms of gender ideology, is said to have "misgendered" Nadia Jacobsen while warning her female followers about Jacobsen's explicit fetish porn content. As reported by Reduxx:
Ingerslev had written a blog post detailing the pornographic videos and images Jacobsen had shared on his social media and various fetish pornography websites. In one post, Jacobsen is seen interacting with his male followers by gamifying his own sexual masochism.
Ingerslev received a letter from Jacobsen’s attorney on August 29, demanding the removal of a blog post that exposed his sexual behavior and his role in creating “inclusivity” policies for the Danish Football Association.
The blog post, which was published on March 6, was titled: “Man whose pornographic, fetish-focused videos are available for public viewing online helped draft DBU’s new ‘inclusive’ recommendations to allow men into girls’ changing rooms.”
Jacobsen had written, “To make it a little more interesting I am going to let you all decide for how long I should refrain from masturbating. I can’t wear a chastity cage all the time, but when I am home I will… For every ‘like’ you add one day. For every reblog you add 3 days… I will only come [sic] as a girl for the rest of my life." Reduxx adds:
There are several photos and videos of Jacobsen engaging in anal masturbation with a sex toy while dressed as a woman and wearing lingerie. Within the transgender pornography fetish community, a man’s rectum is often referred to using terms typically associated with female genitalia.
The letter also demanded compensation of at least DKK 100,000 ($14,000 USD) and accused Ingerslev of harassment, defamation, and misgendering, according to Reduxx.
Reduxx's report highlights that lawyer Nikolaj Nielsen wrote: “Lotte Ingerslev has unlawfully violated Nadia Jacobsen’s privacy and honor by publishing on her website transkoen.dk an article that contains a number of information and images of an intimate nature, untrue claims, as well as by harassing Nadia Jacobsen in the article because of Nadia Jacobsen’s gender identity.”
The lawsuit further states, “As illustrated by the title of the article, Lotte Ingerslev chose to misgender Nadia Jacobsen throughout the blog post and consistently refer to Nadia Jacobsen as a man, as well as to use the pronouns he/his when she refers to Nadia Jacobsen in the third person.”
The lawsuit also points out that “In Danish law, it is generally recognized that deliberate misgendering of a trans person constitutes harassment.”
Bottom Line
This case raises questions about the balance between free speech and respect for individual identities. It also highlights the potential legal consequences of misgendering.
