The Trans-Pangea sub-group is Denmark’s International community for the gender variant. Transgender Danes ( from the T-Gruppe) and Foreigners ( from Pangea) come together to our meetings for evenings of support, activism and fun. We are working on raising awareness in Denmark about transfolk by becoming more visible, compiling educational information, holding workshops and participating in political activities to improve civil rights and healthcare for Transpeople. We offer a network of support and friendship for anyone questioning their gender, thinking about transitioning, transitioning or post-transition. We also welcome the family, friends and partners of Transpeople.

While there are generally 3 main types of transgender people:

MTF (male to female): born male but see themselves as partly to fully feminine.

FTM (female to male): born female but see themselves as partly to fully masculine.

Genderqueer: born with any sexual physiology, choosing not to identify as male or female.

Gender variations can include many different descriptions:

Drag Queen: Female-emulating male, usually campy, often (not always) gay.
Butch: Masculine-appearing person.
Femme: Feminine-appearing person.
Drag King: Male-emulating woman.
Transvestite: Person who enjoys wearing clothes identified with the opposite gender, often but not always straight.
Crossdresser: Polite term for transvestite.
Transgenderist: Person who lives as gender opposite to anatomical sex, i.e. person with penis living as woman. Sexual orientation varies.
Androgyne: Person appearing and identifying as neither man nor woman, presenting a gender either mixed or neutral.
Transsexual: Person whose sexual identity is opposite to their assignment at birth. Not all TS folk undergo 'sex reassignment surgery' (SRS), for various reasons, including personal preference. Sexual orientation varies.
Genderqueer: Person born with male, female or intersex physiology, choosing to identify as as genderqueer rather than male or female.
Transgender Community: A loose association of people who transgress gender norms in a wide variety of ways. Celebrating a recently born self-awareness, this community is growing fast across all lines, including social, economic, political, and philosophical divisions. The central ethic of this community is unconditional acceptance of individual exercise of freedoms including gender and sexual, identity and orientation.
