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.
Probably better not to go in the first place.
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. (Approvals from the embassy but then being detained by ICE)
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.
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 wouldn’t celebrate if I were you. Shit can be revoked, law and rules mean nothing if you’re minority.
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.
Yup, this is a good thing, as many people not following current US developments might not be well aware of the potential dangers of traveling there, and the lack of rights for certain groups.
Your average person will likely just assume media blew things out of proportion (as they often do), that it’s just ‘the latest drama’ and nothing should happen since, c’mon, it’s the US - freest nation on the planet right?
So being aware of the policy shift is a good thing, otherwise many people would be caught by surprise when there even with all the legal paperwork, visas and permits.
The American Nazi regime is disgusting. As they say, with friends like that, who needs enemies?
HIC SVNT LEONES
Welcome back to the Middle Ages when we had white spots on maps where people did not dare to venture.
hic sunt dracones; here be dragons
leones means lions ;)
HIC SVNT LEONES was common on old maps:

oh, neat!
i didn’t know that!
advising them to contact the American embassy if their passport has a gender designation “X” or differs from their birth gender
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”.
better advice not given
I’ve heard of that, countries used to try this - this “diplomacy” thing (RIP)
