Europeans warned about US travel restrictions for non-binary individuals

news.yahoo.com

Several European nations and Canada have warned their citizens about new travel restrictions for entering the United States. These measures come from President Donald Trump’s administration, which is tightening rules that many find controversial. One significant change affects travelers who are non-binary or have changed their gender. Under a new policy, only two genders, male and female, will be recognized on U.S. passports. People with an "X" marker on their passports could face detention or expulsion if they try to enter the U.S. This new rule reverses a previous decision by the Biden administration that allowed an "X gender" marker. The U.S. State Department has stated that all passports, including those with the "X" marker, will still be valid for travel until they expire. This change has raised concerns among the transgender community both in the U.S. and worldwide. There is now confusion about who might be at risk of being detained or questioned when they arrive in the U.S.
