Equality Australia says its advisory is "relevant if you are traveling to the U.S." and fall under the following criteria:
• Hold a passport with a gender 'X' marker
• Have identity documents with gender markers different to those assigned to you at birth, or where other relevant details (such as your name) have been changed
• Have gender markers in your identity documents that do not match your gender expression
• Have a track record of LGBTIQ+ activism or other political activity.
"Travel to the U.S. carries serious risks that should be considered before planning any travel, particularly if you fall under one of the above categories," reads the advisory.
Germany, Denmark, Finland, and the Netherlands are among the countries that have issued travel advisories for trans and nonbinary people who plan to visit the U.S.
InterPride, the organization that coordinates WorldPride events, on March 12 issued its own travel advisory for trans and nonbinary people who want to travel to the U.S.
Egale Canada, one of Canada's largest LGBTQ advocacy organizations, in February announced its members will not attend WorldPride and any other event in the U.S. because of the Trump-Vance administration's policies.-------------------------------------
