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.
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.
Please be careful. I would not put it past the US government to have kept a record of that change.
Of course they have a record of it
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.
I came so close to not putting a rush order on my renewal after the election, but I’m really glad I did. I feel for the people who have to wait and hope shit will get better in 4 years.
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 wouldn’t celebrate if I were you. Shit can be revoked, law and rules mean nothing if you’re minority.
I’m definitely still scared, but I’m still glad I did it
