I am a citizen of Iceland and let me assure you that we are not terrified of the future because of “authoritarian gender ideology”.
What scares us is transphobes, ultra right wing ideologies, the manosphere, fascism, MAGA, oligarchs, techno fascists, ecological collapse and climate change.

I just updated the @transworldexpress.bsky.social Portugal wiki to include our analysis of the anti-trans legislation proposed by PSD, CH & CDS-PP. If you've been considering relocating, you should be aware of these extremist proposals, but know there are still meaningful institutional safeguards.

A Dutch court has upheld the substance of a decision denying asylum to U.S. transgender woman Veronica Clifford-Carlos, the court said in a statement on Monday.
"In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups."
