The country already has hate speech protections for lesbian and gay people.

Norway has expanded its penal code that protected lesbian and gay people from hate speech to now include members of the trans and bisexual community.
Norways parliament backed the amendments to the 1981 legislation yesterday (10 November) without needing a vote, after it had been backed by parliamentarians in its first reading last week.
The amendments now protect gender, gender identity or expression from hate speech and changed the phrase homosexual orientation to sexual orientation in order to mean that people within the bi+ community were protected.
The existing penal code punished people with up to a year in jail for private remarks, and up to three years for public remarks.

The bill was welcomed by LGBTQ+ advocates, with Birna Rorslett, the vice-president of the Association of Transgender People in Norway, saying: Im very relieved actually, because (the lack of legal protection) has been an eyesore for trans people for many, many years.

In emails to the Thomson Reuters Foundation ahead of the legislation, Monica Mland, the Minister for Justice and Public Security, said that trans people were an exposed group when it comes to discrimination, harassment and violence.
She added: It is imperative that the protection against discrimination offered by the criminal legislation is adapted to the practical situations that arise.

The penal code has also been amended so that sentences for people charged with violent crimes will be harsher if its deemed that the attack had been motivated by a persons sexual orientation or gender identity.
However, some hit out at the law, claiming it would criminalise free speech for those opposed to LGBTQ+ rights. Anine Kierulf, an assistant professor of law at the University of Oslo claimed: There are a lot of very hateful things you can say about the protected groups.

H*ck yeah

Trans women aren't men, so by saying what you have you're making the implication that you believe trans women are men. Incidentally, misgendering trans people and saying they're wrong about their gender is transphobic.

If you don't state what the end result of the slippery slope would be, then people are going to make the assumption. And 99/100 times it's used regarding trans people, it's done so in a transphobic way.

You should ask yourself this: why would I say "this seems like a nice thing" if I was against it. I said I was curious, because I don't live in Norway and know how things work over there. And if I'm wrong, then I'm wrong, and I'm fine with being wrong.

It was tacitly implied in your original post and considering Phynaster also said you've done this for years, well. Maybe you'll grow up one day.

Sexual orientation would also include heterosexuals. And nobody's actually discriminated against cisgender people with the motivation being that the victim is cis.

For straight people, and primarily it's used by radical feminists against women who have had children so there's the angle of misogyny to consider.

And you clearly don't understand what the phrase was used for if you're thinking it was somehow discrimination. It was very much in line with "ok Boomer" or other dismissive statements against people who were not worth engaging with any longer, albeit more intense.

There was no systemic angle to validate calling it discrimination, at least not in any concerning manner.

That said, I love me some down with cis bus jokes, because for whatever reason TERFs rolled with sharing the same crappy pasta story that got more ridiculously embellished every time and we rolled with it because it was so obviously fake from the start.
