Germany issues warning for transgender & nonbinary people traveling to the U.S.
Germany issues warning for transgender & nonbinary people traveling to the U.S.
Most of us are cool with ya'll, but yeah, too many who aren't, so please stay the fuck out until its safe.
Also to add, there is an unfortunate number of Liberals who are quickly walking back any support for trans folk.
Not only do these people fail as allies and as compassionate human beings, but they're also very stupid if they don't see that defending trans rights is the front line of the fight against fascism right now, and we all need to be there fighting it. They're not going to stop at taking rights away from trans people. It'll be you next.
We call those shitty people where I come from.
In what way are liberals walking back support for Trans? I’ve seen the comment from Gavin Newsom about athletics, but does that mean he has walked back all support? Or just in that one area?
Edit: I know my comments below got me banned from a number of communities for being “transphobic”, but I believe this is the exact problem with the trans activist movement.
You are actively pushing away allies because they don’t agree with you on certain issues. The net result will be (and already is) people getting elected to office that do not value ANY trans issue. If it is all or nothing, the trans movement will suffer.
This is a YouGov poll of people’s feelings on different trans issues. There are many that are very popular, but the issue of allowing trans athletes to play based on their gender is easily the most unpopular issue. How can you expect politicians to take up unpopular positions just because a small minority of voters care about it? They are just going to lose and give way to actual bigots.
Fact is, if the trans community thinks the issue of athletics is so important, they need to do a better job of promoting that issue. Banning allies from your communities because they don’t agree with your unpopular opinions is just bad for everybody.
They weren’t liberals then. They were just going along with what they thought was more popular at the time.
Hi I'm trans and living in the US right now, in Seattle one of the best places to be trans in the US. Don't come here if you're trans. Don't travel to anywhere in the US, not Seattle, not anywhere. If for no other reason than to stop giving tourism money to us but if you're trans then yeah it's getting spicy.
All my trans friends who have had to travel are reporting increased pat downs, getting questioned by TSA, and bags being opened regardless of their documents. If you get clocked you may be delayed or searched.
For any trans people looking to get out of the country be careful. So far my best idea is to get to a state with enhanced IDs, use that to hop the border to Canada by land without having to physically hand your passport to a US agent, then fly out from there.
Stay safe everyone

Or stay in Canada if you can swing it, and if we don't elect our own Trump-wannabe in our upcoming election
I really really hope the Cons keep shooting themselves in the foot, for the sake of everyone
Just don't travel to the US at all
Yeah, as much as I'd love to see some of the national parks, I'll never travel there unless their entry procedures and government change fundamentally. Plenty of other countries to visit.
Come to Canada instead. We got really nice parks too. And they tend to be less Disneyfied.
As an American one of the prettiest places I have ever been is Banff, in Canada.
US citizen here, I agree with this. We should be punished economically for this.
I don’t think it will influence the jackasses who felt that what’s going on right now was a good idea. But maybe some of the people who decided not to vote will no longer abstain when a living underwear streak wants to be king.
Boy, I would read that as a warning for other people as well. Who the hell wants to travel to a place where people are at risk just for being people? Tourism dies with autocracies. Let America become the dull homogeneous wasteland it wants without throwing them any tourism dollars.
"Glory to Aristotska! Papers, please."
LYRICS:
Arstotzka, Arstotzka greatest country in the world. If you want to get in you will need to bring your papers and your passport.
If you forge, if you lie, if you cheat you will be detained. You can not, I repeat, you can not fool us here on post. Next.
Arstotzka, Arstotzka better than Kolechia. They are stupid and foolish and silly little rats. Filthy rats. We have tanks, we have bombs, we have guns we have glory too. There is no cowardly enemy that can bother us. Boom.
Arstotzka, Arstotzka medicine is best in world. If you're sick, if you sneeze, or you need another heart. Or a lung. We have doctors who will make you feel almost no pain. If you scream, then they know that you are very much alive. Ouch.
Arstotzka, Arstotzka have best football team in world. They kick balls, they kick arse, they kick everything you see. They are great. They can run, they can jump, they can score so many goals, other teams should despair, there is no true hope to win. Goal!
Arstotzka, Arstotzka have best apartments in the world. They are big, they are grey, they are square and glorious. So great. You can eat, you can sleep, you can even just relax and watch all the other countries be really jealous. Ha-ha.
Arstotzka, Arstotzka economy is best in world. Every man, every month can afford to eat one loaf. Mmm, bread. Our industry is heaviest in world we melt steel, we burn coal, we make air look really cool.
Glory to Arstotzka.
Haha, thanks for this!
Start accepting American LGBT refugees then.
Boy never in my life I would have thought about political refugees coming from the US to Germany.
Yesterday someone said to me that we're living in a South Park episode that became reality... I think he's right...
Even South Park isn't this wacky. They had to scrap and remake an episode after the 2016 election because it was completely baffling to them that Trump won.
You do not want to be a refugee here trust me
Yeah, Americans should be lobbying other countries hard right now to improve refugee treatment and quotas.
Something Something passing privilege.
But seriously don't come here, TSA is filled with bootlickers and bystanders. And harassing and detaining foreigners is going to give them good boy points.
They are already detaining Germans without them being transgender whatsoever:
If they believe it is dangerous to travel there as a person like this what about this same population of people who are stuck living there?! When are they going to allow LBGTQ+ people refugee status from the us?
Just not being white and travelling to the US is now more of a risk too. Risk of getting harassed and detained by ICE. Or being harassed by people pretending to be ICE. Tourism is going to take a hit.
Based Germany
Even cis Germans probably should not go, given recent events.
Damn. That's sad that it's come to this. We tried to tell everyone that Trump was gonna pull dumb shit, but everyone wanted to latch on the economy as a excuse.
But yeah, as a US citizen, I wouldn't wanna be here either.
