“In Lithuania I have a 14-year old daughter. Kids are not stupid. She sees that I have underwear and robes, so I can\u2019t tell her that I work at a bar, and I bring so much money home that my family would never believe me. I bought two apartments in Lithuania, so how would they believe that I work at a restaurant? So I told them that I work with very rich men, that I sometimes have sex with. I don\u2019t tell them that I have 10 customers a day”.

Newly graduated high school students are attending their graduation ceremony in national costumes, as tradition dictates. Some of the accessories for the suits are made of silver. If the suit is not homemade, it can quickly cost 20,000 Danish kroner (3,000 US dollars). The trumpets play up to Faroese national anthem facing the Atlantic Ocean, and the families vote in. The national pride is unmistakable.

While the neighboring countries was opening from lockdown in the beginning of spring 2021, Germany was still in lockdown and was going through the third wave of the pandemic until late May. Strict restrictions of gathering and nightly curfews prevented the youth from having a spring with parties and dancing through the night. But the young people were still meeting up, swimming, and kissing by the river and lakes of Hannover.

At first my doctor and I tried to avoid the psychiatric department, because it could cause problems, if I wanted to get feminizing hormone therapy later on. But my depression and suicidal thoughts became so severe that I had no choice. I told myself \u2018if I kill myself, hormone therapy won\u2019t matter. I need to deal with my depression first.\u2019 At that time, I didn\u2019t realize that my experience with dysphoria was a part of the reason why I was depressed.\u201d Brynhildr Frederiksmose is a non-binary trans femme.

Many of the boys have made a cut in their eyebrow, as some sort of ritual. Until now Yahkemlek has avoided the cut. He was afraid of what his mom would say, if she saw it. After half an hour chase, the other boys caught him, and made the cut on him. Afterwards Yahkemlek liked how it looked.

Linda has been a farmer all her life and has worked with mink for 20 years, but the weeks around the killing still surpassed her imagination. And the future is uncertain. The killing itself is a gasp that is palpable, but it is just as much what awaits afterwards. Her livelihood has been removed from one day to the next and she has a hard time imagining what she is going to do now. Linda is not alone in this uncertainty. “It is terrible to see your entire mink-population killed so soon before we should have furred many of them. Killing the healthy mink feels completely wrong,\u201d says Linda Christensen.
