It's late Friday afternoon as I write this, but the story keeps popping back up in my feed so I have to share it before the end of the week:
The story has been in the news for a month, largely because of how insane it is.
From Reduxx:
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. This provision, originally enacted in 1995 to prohibit the dissemination of ideas based on race, ethnicity, or religion that degrade human dignity, was expanded in 2020 to include a broad interpretation of 'sexual identities.'
Burgdorf Police hauled him into the station to interrogate him for this "hateful" observation about reality. It was there that he committed more thought crime (AKA observing scientific facts about objective truth).
To the question, 'What did you mean by this comment?' he replied: 'Well, that those who think there's not just man and woman, I want to tell them that there's only man and woman.' Later, when asked, 'What do you think of the LGBTQI community?' he responded: 'Nothing, absolutely nothing. It's an extremist bunch. They want to silence me.'
He disagrees with the violent, angry transgender activists who demand he believes their religious ideology about human identity?
A court fined Brünisholz around $600 USD for his patently common-sense observations. He lost on appeal and was fined an additional $750.
The fine for not paying is 10 days in jail.
Brünisholz chose jail.
Here he is telling the world that he's going to prison on December 2nd for the crime of saying scientists can determine sex by skeletal remains, and that those skeletal remains are either male or female.
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!
