Transphobia in Iceland | Dora's Thunderblog
https://kalldoro.wordpress.com/2012/04/07/transphobia-in-iceland
Ramblings of a ginger viking. In Sex and gender. My last post on this blog was in Icelandic and it raised quite a furor in Iceland. Only about an hour after I posted it it had been talked about in a newspaper called DV. Quickly after that I received a phone call from a DV journalist, the next day I was contacted by Stöð 2. And I met up with one of their journalists for an interview for the news. I was also interviewed by a lady from Rás 2. And I went to the X-ið 97.7. Studio for another interview. You ar...

Ramblings of a ginger viking. In Sex and gender. I should be in bed, and I don’t think I have quite decided yet what it is I want to say, but I’m going to try to put my feelings into words. All of a sudden it has hit me that I. Probably want to have kids some day and I’m terrified that I might have ruined my chances of ever being a mother. What if my ovaries are just permanently damaged? I had PCOS before, what if I made it worse? Maybe it’ll all be ok. Maybe I’ll end up loving my strange...I am a little...

Ramblings of a ginger viking. How to be busy. A bit of the text for this post somehow disappeared, I’m writing it again now]. I used to be allergic to being busy. I hated it. It made me want to hide under the covers and sleep all day. Usually I had school work, a job, and some errands to run. I didn’t have much of a social life and I was unhappy. So yeah. Busy. But it’s awesome! I am much happier today than I was just about 6 months ago. I have come out of the closet and I have begun living my life a...

The beginning of my transition | Dora's Thunderblog
https://kalldoro.wordpress.com/2012/04/14/the-beginning-of-my-transition
Ramblings of a ginger viking. The beginning of my transition. In Sex and gender. I should either be asleep (since I’m sick) or working on my dissertation. I am not a very sensible person, so I’ve decided to write a blog post instead. It’s been a week and 2 days (3 days? It didn’t. In fact, I didn’t feel anything of note for several days. I got some weird flashes of energy and buzziness, but aside from that nothing. But then again, it’s only been 2 weeks (and 2-3 days! Question is: can everyone else?

Af hverju ég hætti við | Dora's Thunderblog
https://kalldoro.wordpress.com/2012/10/23/af-hverju-eg-haetti-vid
Ramblings of a ginger viking. Af hverju ég hætti við. Fyrir um ári síðan tilkynnti ég fólkinu í lífi mínu og öllum á Facebook að ég væri trans og að ég ætlaði að hefja ferlið í áttina að því að lifa sem karlmaður. Síðan hefur margt gerst og ég tók þátt í ýmsum verkefnum sem snérust um að fræða almenning um það hvað það þýðir að vera trans. The beginning of my transition. Why I changed my mind. Oct 24, 2012. Elsku Dóra mín, Mér fannst þú ótrúlega kjörkuð að fara út í þetta erfiða ferli en mér finnst þú lí...

Why I changed my mind | Dora's Thunderblog
https://kalldoro.wordpress.com/2012/10/23/why-i-changed-my-mind
Ramblings of a ginger viking. Why I changed my mind. About a year ago I announced to my loved ones and everyone on Facebook that I was trans and that I intended to begin my transition towards living as a man. Since then a lot has happened and I participated in a number of projects aimed at improving education about trans people. At this point I feel it is important to note that I do not want to hear “I always knew it would go this way” or any kind of speculations about my mental health. T...Oct 24, 2012.

Self image and the trans identity | Dora's Thunderblog
https://kalldoro.wordpress.com/2012/03/26/self-image-and-the-trans-identity
Ramblings of a ginger viking. Self image and the trans identity. For many (if not most) trans people, one of the hardest parts of coming out of the closet and starting the process of living life true to their internal selves, is dealing with reactions of people around them. In some cases it’s not too bad, but many trans people face devastating rejections, and often lose people from their lives. Trans people know they are trans as children. Trans people are extremely dysphoric and hate their bodies. It is...

Ofbeldi í garð transfólks á Íslandi | Dora's Thunderblog
https://kalldoro.wordpress.com/2012/04/01/ofbeldi-i-gard-transfolks-a-islandi
Ramblings of a ginger viking. Ofbeldi í garð transfólks á Íslandi. In Sex and gender. Yfirleitt skrifa ég á ensku á þessu bloggi, en í þetta skiptið skrifa ég á íslensku vegna þess að ég vil að sem flestir Íslendingar lesi þetta. Ég er mjög sorgmæddur í dag. Sorgmæddur, reiður, sár og þreyttur. Síðan ég kom út úr skápnum sem trans þá hef ég sem betur fer almennt fengið góð viðbrögð frá þeim sem ég díla við. Hinsvegar eru ekki allir eins opnir og umburðarlyndir í garð þeirra sem eru öðruvísi. Frumvarpinu ...
