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.

      I wouldn’t celebrate if I were you. Shit can be revoked, law and rules mean nothing if you’re minority.

      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
