TransAkcija is Slovenia's transfeminist initiative and the country's dedicated organisation for trans and gender-diverse people. It works from a small office in Šiška, on the third floor of Trg prekomorskih brigad 1, room 317, the door you see as you step out of the lift. The room doubles as a sitting room, an events space and a studio, and it is accessible to wheelchair users.
The office runs a drop-in called Plac zate and a psychosocial support programme: counselling, psychological support, referrals onwards, and a binder scheme. Alongside that the organisation works on legal gender recognition and access to trans healthcare, produces guidance for doctors, schools, parents and journalists, and keeps a glossary and a large shelf of publications in Slovene.
It organises Trans+ Month, a festival of gender diversity built around trans visibility and the Day of Remembrance, together with a professional conference and transCON, a convention of trans and gender-diverse culture. The office is freely open during the drop-in and during events; outside those it is worth writing first.
