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.

      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”.
