In an episode of Ole Asbjørn Ness’s podcast, Anne Kalvig – a member of Athena Forum’s expert network – joins artist Tonje Gjevjon to discuss the current state of the gender debate in Norway. The conversation explores concerns about the influence of gender identity ideology on the women’s movement, the impact of related legal changes, including on children, and the narrowing space for open debate. Drawing on personal experiences from academia and public discourse, Kalvig argues that the influence of gender identity doctrine in Norway resembles a new form of state religion.
