Finland, Denmark issue travel warnings for US
www.newsweek.com
Copenhagen and Helsinki follow other European countries in beefing up its travel guidance for citizens going to America after a spate of detentions at customs.

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.

    Contact the US embassy if you’re trans?

    Are you daft?

    Do not tell any US official about your religion, sexual preferences, gender identity or skin color, if possible, you’ll end up regretting it

      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.

        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 )
