Denmark Issues Advisory on US Travel for Transgender Citizens

Denmark has issued a travel advisory for transgender citizens planning to visit the United States, recommending they consult the US embassy in Copenhagen due to concerns over President Trump's policies that restrict gender identification to two biological sexes. This advisory follows similar warnings from Finland and other European countries, emphasizing potential issues for those with passports marked with a gender 'X' or changed gender. Trump's executive order mandates that US identification documents only recognize 'male' and 'female' based on biological sex, which could lead to complications for travelers whose documents do not align with this policy. Despite these concerns, no Danish citizens have been detained or refused entry to the US since Trump's policies were enacted. Denmark's foreign ministry advises contacting the US embassy for guidance on navigating these restrictions. The US embassy has stated that entry permission is based on biological sex at birth, not self-identified gender.
