About us

Our community

Trans Scandinavia is a network for trans and non-binary folks with ties to Scandinavia. Our purpose is to serve as a network, where one can meet peers, have conversations and discussions, organize common activities, share media, seek advice or support and give each other feedback.

The Discord server

Trans Scandinavia is primarily based on Discord, a free and anonymous social network for communities. Our goal with the server is to provide an affirming and harassment-free space for everyone involved. We honor all gender identities, ethnicities, sexualities, body types, economic backgrounds and abilities on the server.

We reject hate speech of any kind and conversations or presentations that involve discriminatory thinking, such as racism, transphobia, homophobia, classism, and other explicit forms of harmful ignorance. This includes offensive verbal comments related to gender identity and expression (such as purposefully misgendering someone), sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion.

Activism

Trans Scandinavia is involved in activism, which aims to give voice to the views and expressions of Scandinavian trans people in order to build a network, improve the visibility of trans issues tied to local policies, and push back against transphobia.

We also try to contribute to the quality of life of trans people seeking medical treatment by exposing the faults of the national healthcare systems and to work with healthcare providers towards the improvement of the healthcare services offered all across Scandinavia.
