The red Sofa with Ragga Eiríks
Ehhhh...
Welcome to the red sofa
Hi my name is Ragga Eiríks
and here in the red sofa
there I always sit with my guests
on friday nights
tonight my guest is a wonderful human being called Alda Villiljós
Alda is neither a man nor a woman
Welcome (neuter gendered form) to the red sofa.
why are we like this? Why are we so timid?
when someone like you arrives and says she is neither a man or a woman?
That's a really good question
I think it's in human nature...
to classify things, we want to put them in boxes and say...
things are like this and that et cetera
That is very natural, it's in our nature.
When someone comes and you don't fir into two categories.
then we don't know how to classify the person or whatever else.
It's natural but...
We tend to classify things along binary lines.
There's good and bad...
black and white... man or a woman...
but when it comes to black and white there is a whole scale of gray in between those.
there is nothing, which naturally fits into either of two categories.
That is very unnatural.
we talk about children in neuter gender as well as poets.
It's not perfectly new...
in the language we are just not used to using it on a day to day basis.
I remmeber when we first met.
and I was practicing
because you're the first person I got to know that usees the pronoun hán (neuter gender).
and the neuter gender forms of words...
what I thought explained it the best was the thing about a child.
the child is hungry (neuter gender adjective4)
Alda (feminine noun) is hungry (neuter gender adjective)
yes exactly...
Then I was like... yes. aha. hmmm
but how to you feel when I say...
Welcome (masculine form)
does it irritate you?
like a pin or a knife?
I feel like I was pinched...
one time, it doesn't [matter]
It's not a big deal.
but it's always in the same place and it happens every day and often per day.
and at the end of the day I have a bruise.
how is it...
how do you respond... I often hear...
wh can't we just have it simple...
can't people just be either men or women?
heterosexual or homosexual...
That's allowed no a days...
but bisexuality not...
hardly...
It messes with everything...
How do you answer comments like that?
well itðs been a long time since I responded to that question.
I always approach this like nuclear physics....
you know...
once we were certain that...
that the smallest thing in the universe were neutrons and protons...
but then we found out about quarks.
and then....
you know
then we sent physics teachers into re-education...
you said genderqueer just now.
could you explain the terms queer and genderqueer to us?
a lot of people know the word queer it has been a long time in our language.
gender-queer is a word that I found on tumbler.
Alda you are the chairman of trans-Iceland
Waht does trans-Iceland do?
quite a lot...
we are a social platform for trans people.
we get a lot of emails and inquiries from trans people or people close to them.
which are looking for support or information...
could that for example be...
the parents of a teenager that is discovering that he's trans?
but it's not like that...
I think the reason why a lot of young people are discovering that they don't fit their assigned gender...
is that the gender classifications are so narrow.
in the eighties everything opened up...
research that has been done on toys...
and clothing for children...
in the 70s it was just like everyone played with legos...
the same toys were for everyone...
and clothes were similar...
but in the 80s the suddenly ....
then it turned into your a boy then you are like this or you are a girl and then you are like this.
you have to have boy lego or girl lego.
all of this arrived on the scene...
I think this loosened up a bit in the 90s but then
but tighten in the last decade.
you know what...
there is a sign flashing in my head right now...
it's a big flashing sign that says capitalism.
exactly!
isn't that the issue?
You can sell more if one cannot use the same clothes for your kids of different genders...
exactly. compeltly.
