How trans ideology took over Iceland

Just as I sat down to watch the Friday evening news last week, I received a distress call. On the phone was a man I had never met. He was desperately searching for a venue for a lesbian, gay and bisexual organisation wishing to hold a one-day seminar taking place the next day.

This was at the height of Iceland´s annual pride week and the organisation had arranged to hold their conference at an auditorium rented out by the National Museum of Iceland. A few days earlier the museum had suddenly cancelled the event following complaints by activists, who objected to their views on trans rights.

A frantic search for a new venue yielded results and shortly before the distress signal was sent out the organisation’s volunteers had been busy setting up at an equestrian centre on the outskirts of Reykjavik.
