"Hic abundant leones" (top left):

I think the problem arises when the embassy says it's fine to come, but then the traveling person's are detained or harassed once they arrive.
There's nothing I'm personally aware of stating trans persons to be outright illegal ( beyond the executive order(?) stating there are only two genders/sexes )
Which has been happening.
-
It's better to be told that you can't enter by the embassy than to be detained at the border.
Don’t take these monsters at their word. I know it’s hard to understand if you come from a place where official statements mean something, but here in the land of Freedom
there is no truth. -
As a trans person, I'm so glad I listened to my paranoia last year and got my US passport and license updated to my current gender.
I wouldn't celebrate if I were you. Shit can be revoked, law and rules mean nothing if you're minority.

Please be careful. I would not put it past the US government to have kept a record of that change.

Apparently Elon Musk is coming through the Social Security day that's trying to find as many of us as possible, name changes being a rather easy one.

If your passport has the gender designation X, or if you have changed your gender, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs advises contacting the American embassy before traveling for guidance on how to proceed.
Meanwhile in Finland, the advisory notes that if the gender on an applicant's passport differs from the gender confirmed at birth, U.S. authorities may deny entry. It's recommended to check the entry requirements with U.S. authorities in advance.
If you are Jewish or have known Jewish ancestry, Nazi Germany may deny entry. It's better to check the entry requirements with Nazi authorities in advance.

Summary
Denmark has issued a travel warning for transgender individuals visiting the U.S., advising them to contact the American embassy if their passport has a gender designation "X" or differs from their birth gender.
This follows Trump administration policies restricting trans rights, including an executive order recognizing only two sexes and a ban on transgender military service, which faces legal challenges.
Similar warnings have been issued by Britain and Germany amid concerns of discrimination and denial of entry.
So, does this mean we will see fewer Dutch visiting?

Genuinely shocking to live in a world rn where the UK (where I live) is better on trans stuff than the US. A couple years ago I would have felt safer over there, at least in some states. I hope things get better for u lot

I find Australia's travel advice contradictory.
No offence to people living in the US, but I'd say most people in Australia would think many places in the US are not generally as safe as here.
For political reasons (we are the US' vassals, see $300 bn submarines), we will likely hold out a long time before heightening headline travel advice, but to me some of the advice given does not fall under the category of exercising "normal safety precautions" as is claimed by DFAT:
-
Violent crime is more common in the United States than in Australia. Gun crime is also prevalent. If you live in the United States, learn and practice active shooter drills.
-
There is a persistent threat of mass casualty violence and terrorist attacks in the United States. Be alert, particularly in public places and at events.
Practicing active shooter drills isn't normal. At all.

Uh huh, do NOT tell them you're trans, bi, gay, non Christian, etc because that information WILL be written down
