The podcast "Hoss and Hopf," hosted by entrepreneurs and internet personalities Kiarash Hossainpour and Philip Hopf, spent some time discussing a trans woman identifying as Laura Holstein, previously known as Nicholas.
Holstein gained attention recently for demanding access to female-only spaces, such as a female-only gym in Bavaria, with her attempts to intrude upon these spaces garnering support from Germany's federal Anti-Discrimination Agency.
The regional court of the city of Frankfurt claimed that the "misgendering" was a violation of Holstein's rights, and sentenced the podcast hosts to either delete the podcast episode or face a fine of up to 250,000 euros for non-compliance. The podcast episode has since been deleted. (Related: Popular French author faces criminal charges for “misgendering” a male mayor with gender dysphoria by calling him “a man” – which he IS.)
Furthermore, both Hossainpour and Hopf were forbidden from referring to Holstein as a man ever again.
Hossainpour decries Germany's censorship
Hossainpour took to X to comment on the issue, posting the court order that forbids the podcast hosts from "distributing, publishing or having third parties distribute or publish" statements that mention Holstein as a man.
"Our podcast episode about the legal drama of a person who was born biologically male but wanted to go to a women's gym – with the support of the Independent Federal Commissioner for Anti-Discrimination – is now offline," Hossainpour said. "The reason? A decision by the Frankfurt am Main Regional Court that redefines the boundaries between biology, identity and law."
"In an expedited procedure, without an oral hearing, the court ruled in favor of the applicant, a transgender woman. Why? Our repeated designation as a 'man' was considered a violation of her personal rights, since she is 'legally and socially recognized as a woman,'" Hossainpour added.
Hossainpour also denounced the court's urgency in running the case, emphasizing how the court believed that the use of biologically correct terms represented an "immediate danger that could not be delayed."
"It is remarkable that the court saw an 'extraordinary urgency' here – as if the use of biologically correct terms represented an immediate danger that could not be delayed," Hossainpour wrote regarding the Frankfurt am Main Regional Court's ruling that became a viral post on X. "One inevitably wonders whether other, perhaps actually urgent cases had to take a back seat."
"This creates a fascinating dilemma: in Germany, a person born biologically male, who is legally considered a woman, can no longer be referred to as a man," Hossainpour added. "An expression of opinion that the court classifies as a violation of personal rights and even as an attack on human dignity and sanctions in fast-track proceedings."
