Denmark and Finland have recently revised their travel advisories for transgender individuals traveling to the US amid rising concerns about safety and border issues. Danish authorities recommend that transgender travelers reach out to the US embassy in Copenhagen before their departure to avoid complications with travel documents, particularly due to the US Electronic System for Travel Authorization restricting gender options. The advisories, influenced by the rollback of trans rights in the US, follow similar moves by Germany. While no Danish citizens have been refused entry yet, the advisory aims to prevent potential border issues.
Denmark's new travel advisory warns transgender travelers to contact the US embassy regarding travel document issues, reflecting concerns about rights under Trump's administration.
The Danish foreign ministry's advisory reflects changes in US policies under Trump, where the Electronic System for Travel Authorization limits gender options compared to Denmark's inclusive laws.
LGBT+ Danmark requested the new advisory out of concern for potential issues faced by travelers with gender X designations or those having undergone gender changes.
The advisory change points to a growing trend among European nations to caution transgender travelers about possible complications traveling to the US under current policies.
