Denmark issues travel warning for US
-
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.

It's better to be told that you can't enter by the embassy than to be detained at the border.
Probably better not to go in the first place.

Why?
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.

Seems like the better advice would be "Don't travel to the fascist country where they might start murdering your demographic en masse", rather than "Contact the embassy of the fascist country ahead of time to ensure that they know that you're part of the demographic they want to murder en masse".

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.

Donāt take these monsters at their word. I know itās 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 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.

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
