Stella and Sasha welcome Eldur Smári Kristinsson to the show, offering a revealing overview of Iceland’s rapid societal transformation into what he describes as a "gender-crazed dystopia”.
Freelance writer and free-thinker, Eldur Smári Kristinsson, is the current chairman of the Lesbian and Gay Alliance in Iceland. He is also in the process of co-founding the Icelandic and Nordic Rainbow Councils. A gay man and passionate advocate for LGB issues, Eldur has a diverse professional background, including senior roles in international corporations, work as a teacher, as well as work supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities. He transitioned from his professional career in business to fully engage in the gender debate and the politics surrounding it.
His compelling presentation at the Genspect conference in Lisbon, Portugal (Sep 2024) sparked significant attention, propelling him into the spotlight and leading to his candidacy for national office in Iceland. Known for his sincerity and determination, Eldur is a pivotal figure in challenging the institutionalization of trans ideology in Iceland, inspiring others to speak up and act in pursuit of reasoned dialogue and meaningful change.
In this episode, Eldur describes how over the last 25 years, Iceland has transitioned from a nation advancing progressive gay rights to one where gender ideology has infiltrated institutions, including government, education, and even the Church of Iceland. This change, Eldur argues, has been driven by ideological activists and well-funded interest groups seeking to perpetuate their influence.
His testimony underscores the deep societal shifts underway in Iceland and the challenges of addressing contentious gender issues amid institutional complicity and media narratives.
