English-speaking trans support group meets the third Tuesday of every month in Andrými (Bergþórugata 20, 101 Reykjavík) 7-10 PM.
Do you want to share your experiences or to find out information about trans related healthcare, information resources or legal processes here in Iceland? Do you want to find support to organise a trans specific event? Would you simply like to relax and have a casual chatty evening and drink tea without the pressure of misgendering and cissexist assumptions? Come to the meeting!
Tea, coffee, zines & revolution.
This is an unprofessional trans-organised group intended for trans and questioning individuals* of all ages, not (cis) family members or allies.
*This means that trans women, non-binary/genderfluid people, trans men, and people questioning their gender identities of all ages are all very welcome! The group is not intended exclusively for foreigners but English is the main language of communication because trans people not fluent in Icelandic are already disadvantaged in accessing care and community support. Of course, if everyone present feels confident speaking Icelandic, the meeting can also be in Icelandic.
The structure of the meetings and discussions is very free and based on everyone’s preferences and needs. If you have an idea you’d like to discuss or any questions related to the support group, please don’t hesitate to send me an e-mail at transsupportgrouprvk@riseup.net.
Name + pronoun tags are available. Washrooms in the space are gender-neutral. The event is meant to be accessible to people with various levels of fluency in English. The entire house is booked for as much privacy as possible.
FB event here. Note: Comments and the event itself is public, but the participant list isn’t visible. It seems like your facebook friends might be able to see you’re going/interested though!
Andrými space is unfortunately currently not accessible (we are working on improving that as soon as possible). There is a step before the garden gate and then 5 steps leading to the main entrance, each 17 cm high, door widths in the building vary between 50 cm (upstairs washroom door) and 80 cm (entrance door), and the washrooms are so far only on the upper floor and in the basement. The door to the meeting room is 75 cm wide (as most doors in the building).
The meeting is held on the second floor, but can be moved downstairs in case it’s easier to access for someone, just let me know in advance! It is always possible to leave the room anytime, and there is a quiet room just next door. There are both soft, quite low, sofas and chairs to sit on. Andrymi has water, tea, and coffee for everyone.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
– Privacy.
What is said in the room stays in the room. We should not to assume that others go by the same name/pronouns/identity outside the group. We don’t take photos during the meetings.
– Mindfulness that everyone’s journey is different.
There is no hierarchy of being “more genuine” or “more trans,” and our journeys as well as goals and aspirations can be very different. We should always try to speak from personal experience (“I feel…,” “I am affected by…”) instead of speaking on behalf of others.
– Inclusivity.
I want to offer support for as much of the trans umbrella as possible. Trans women, trans men, gender fluid, gender queer, non-binary, dual/multi gender, and those questioning their gender identity – and anyone else seeking support for gender identity. Intersex people who identify as trans are especially welcome!
It’s always really nice and empowering to speak to other trans people and spend time together – this event is meant to make you feel more confident and calmer, not the opposite! Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions/concerns/anything else that would help you to come to the meetings.

Fyrir okkur er þjóðríkið ekkert annað en stofnun sem ber ábyrgð á mörgum af helstu grimmdarverkum sögunnar á við þrælahald og fjöldamorðum í hverri einustu heimsálfu. Þjóðríki bera ábyrgð á mannskæðustu stríðum sögunnar, þau hafa sett á laggirnar stofnanir á við herinn, lögregluna, réttarkerfið og fangelsi, stofnanir sem svipta fólk lífi, frelsi og reisn á kerfisbundinn hátt eftir línum sem fyglja stéttaskiptingu, húðlit, kynhneigð, -vitund og -tjáningu og sem og uppruna. Við teljum ríkið einnig vera einn af helstu þátttakendum í eyðileggingu jarðarinnar, þar sem einu sjáanlegu aðgerðirnar eru ofbeldi gegn þeim sem berjast gegn þessari sömu eyðileggingu.
Við álítum þjóðríkið vera miðstýrt og stigskipt stjórnmálakerfi sem byggir á valdbeitingu, þvingun og firringu. Undirstaða þessa kerfis er afnám á möguleika hvers einstaklings til að taka sjálfstæðar ákvarðanir um eigið líf, ásamt bælingu á hvers lags sjálfsskipulaggningu hópa og samfélaga. Hvort tveggja eru atriði sem ógna hinu miðstýrða, úthlutaða og stofnanavædda valdi ríkisins.
Við viljum skapa rými til að rækta andstöðu við ríkið og ofbeldi þess, sem birtist meðal annars í innilokun og brottvísun fólks á flótta, í staðinn fyrir að leyfa þjóðernishyggju og -fögnuði að taka yfir hvern krók og kima þann 17. júní.

***ENGLISH ***
No Borders Iceland is hosting an anti-state event on the 17th of june, the event will consist of workshops, a dinner and music.
See closer description of the program and accessibility below.
No Borders rejects values celebrated on the 17th of june, such as national pride, nationalism and the upheaval of the nation state.
Today we are witnessing an uprising in the so-called United States of America, where people are rioting and fighting against the police, and thus against the State, fighting for the end of racism, white supremacy and the police institution. Fighting the State is a parallel, interrelated fight.
We “lay at the State’s feet many atrocities. We consider it as the primary culprit for slavery and genocide on every continent, for the worst wars in human history, for mass incarceration and for the destruction of the planet. We define the State as a centralized, hierarchical system of political organization based on coercion and alienation, the primordial alienation being the theft of each individual’s ability to decide over their own lives, the suppression of self-organization so that power can continue to be centralized, delegated and institutionalized.” (P. Gelderlos, Worshiping Power)
Instead of letting nationalism and and national celebration take up every inch and corner in Reykjavík in the 17th of June, we hope to create a space for resistance against the nation state and it’s violence, which amongst other things appears in the deportation machine.

13:30 House opens, coffee, chill, prep
