At a time when more and more parents and professionals are questioning how government information dissemination affects young people, we are launching another mini-documentary. It reveals some of the shocking content on Ung.no – the state's official information channel for young people between the ages of 13 and 20. Through a systematic review of over 700 questions and answers about gender and gender identity, a body of thought is uncovered that not only violates biological reality, but also leads young people to anonymous chat services run by ideological actors without public quality control.
The film highlights some of the many critical findings from Ung.no, and shows how young people are taught that gender is something subjective, fluid and personal – not biologically rooted. The quotes are taken directly from the website:
“Someone can be both female and male, or neither.”
“You are the one who has the right to define yourself.”
“You decide for yourself which words best describe your own gender identity.”
The state's quality-assured information channel claims that gender identity and sex are not about biology, but about feelings, expression and self-definition. This is conveyed as fact – to children and young people – via what has been marketed for several years as a “public, quality-assured” knowledge platform, operated by Bufdir. Several of the responses are answered directly by queer interest organizations.
One of the film's more serious findings is how Ung.no actively refers vulnerable young people to external organizations and chat services, many of them run by activist queer communities. These include:
Plus permanent links and references to FRI – Association for Gender and Sexual Diversity, Stensveen, Harry Benjamin Resource Center, Queer Christian Network, Queer World and Hello. Of these, it is the Harry Benjamin Resource Center that appears serious and objective, the others appear as activists with an agenda.
What the actors have in common is that they operate on an ideological basis, often with a strong norm-critical agenda, and without insight into who is responsible, what competence they actually have, or what responsibility is taken for any incorrect advice. This is the state's recommendation for children and young people who feel insecure about their bodies, identity or sexuality – to send them to queer activists who misrepresent gender and sexuality. The actors are labeled by Ung.no as “facts”, but they convey the opposite.
The film shows how Ung.no in practice functions as a front for queer theory and identity politics under state control. Instead of helping young people to secure their biological reality and identity and understand their bodies in light of truth, family and values, they are introduced to a worldview where everything flows – and where gender, name and pronoun are open-ended play bricks in a personal puzzle.
This happens without debate, without objections and without parents or healthcare professionals having a say in the matter.
We must speak out – for the sake of the children
Many parents don't know what their children are actually reading and are being recommended to read. Ung.no. Now we have started to document the situation. This film is not made to provoke, but to inform. And perhaps most importantly: to protect the youngest from an ideological overreach disguised as help. Young people no longer know who they are, there are over 10,000 questions about gender and gender identity, and the answers the most vulnerable get lead them to other websites and to Ung.no its own page about gender identity that directly confuses youth.

We ask the following questions:
The film reveals how Ung.no has become a tool for spreading queer theory in schools and in the lives of young people. We encourage everyone who cares about children's health, safety, and right to facts – not ideology – to watch the film, share it, and help speak out clearly:
The state can no longer ideologically influence children by preaching queer theory and calling it “quality-assured.” The parental voice must come into play.
