WTF? A Gay Rights Activist Is Under Criminal Investigation By Icelandic Police For Questioning Men Who Think They're Women Trying To Breastfeed Babies

REYKJAVÍK, Iceland (TNND) — A gay rights activist from Iceland claims a local police department launched an investigation into his social media posts questioning whether biologically male transgender individuals can breastfeed.

Eldur Smári Kristinsson, 45, is an activist with the Icelandic LGBT rights watchdog group Samtökin 22. He is known for his social media presence that is often critical of the transgender movement.

Kristinsson was a candidate in an Icelandic parliamentary election last month “to put the dangers of gender ideology, and the harm it poses to children and vulnerable adults, on the agenda,” he wrote via a GoFundMe page.

He claimed that, toward the end of his campaign, the Icelandic public broadcasting service RÚV "made libelous and defamatory statements" during the show "Forystusætið," a political program literally meaning "the leadership seat."

Kristinsson claims police in the Suðurnes region of Iceland contacted him soon thereafter saying he was under investigation over his social media posts. At the center of the investigation was a post in which he dismissed claims that transgender women can breastfeed.
