Popular Reykjavik Nightspot Kicks Out Trans Woman, Cites “Dress Code”
The Reykjakik Grapevine ^ | 11/12/2018 | Andie Fontaine

Hverfisbarinn, a downtown Reykjavík nightclub, has come under fire for the actions and words of one of their doormen, who told a trans woman to leave the establishment. While the club cites a “dress code” as the reason why she was asked to leave, many have cast doubt on this excuse.

The matter was first brought to light on social media, as Fréttablaðið reports. Rakel Brandt and her sister, Sæborg Ninja Guðmundsdóttir, reportedly went to the club on Saturday night to celebrate Rakel’s birthday.

At the entrance, a doorman took exception with Sæborg, who is a trans woman, claiming that she was not dressed appropriately, but that they could stay at the club until midnight. However, the doorman approached them at around 23:00 and told them they needed to leave. When Rakel asked if they were being kicked out because Sæborg is trans, the doorman reportedly replied, “You can take it how you will.”

Íða Finnbogadóttir, one of Rakel’s friends, told reporters that she was allowed into the club despite wearing a the same outfit as Sæborg; namely, she was wearing a fur coat. In fact, they both wore the exact same fur coat; when worn by Sæborg, the doorman had an issue, but took no exception to Íða wering it. Íða directly quotes the doorman as saying, “I just couldn’t let a guy in a women’s fur coat into the place.”

The incident spread like wildfire across social media, prompting the university student group Röskva to cancel an event they had scheduled at Hverfisbarinn.

Oh yeah! That trans_woman in Iceland sure looks familiar. I wonder if she started screaming “Put some lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again” at the doorman. LOL!

Why can’t the media report the real scientifically determined gender of the subjects being reported on with an explanation of their mental illness if it is pertinent to the story? I suppose they have the right to pretend and play dress up if they like, but I am in no way obligated to play along.

“How do they know this guy i sa “trans woman”? Looks like your average garden variety transvestite.”

Most of these Trans freaks are hormone enhanced transvestites. They take female hormones and grow female like breasts but few go all the way to get their dick cut off.
So in my book they are just playing a stronger transvestite card.
