The debate over gender identity in Norway has intensified, with political leaders and students reacting strongly to recent proposals.

KrF leader Dag Inge Ulstein's suggestion to remove gender identity from school curricula has sparked significant backlash, particularly from non-binary students like Helena Louise Eriksen and Even Elias Haakenstad.

This proposal aligns with Finance Minister Trygve Slagsvold Vedum's view that only two genders exist, a stance criticized by Equality Minister Lubna Jaffery.

Jaffery argues that gender identity is a personal experience, supported by WHO's recognition of non-binary individuals.

The debate reflects broader cultural tensions, with comparisons drawn to American "anti-woke" policies.

Despite the controversy, the proposal lacks majority support in the Norwegian parliament.
