Do not travel advisory texas trans

Do Not Travel (FL, TX): Two states have earned “Do Not Travel” advisories: Florida and Texas. Florida has a law that allows for the arrest of transgender people for using bathrooms according to their gender identity and another policy targets transgender people’s drivers licenses.

The right to travel freely is a fundamental human right, yet travelers across the country continue to express concerns about the intrusive security screening procedures used by the Transportation Security Administration TSA. Most of the time, however, transgender people are able to proceed through security without incident. This guide answers common questions trans people may have about airport security procedures and outlines steps individuals can take to prevent and respond to problems at the airport.

Texas now holds a “Do Not Travel” advisory, only the second state after Florida to reach this level of risk. This follows recent actions in Odessa, where a punitive $10, penalty was introduced for trans individuals using public restrooms that align with their gender identity.

A growing number of countries are advising caution for trans citizens visiting America amid fears of 'detention'. It comes after Donald Trump banned 'X' gendered US passports and one of the first executive orders he signed as president declared there were only two genders. A number of US allies are now warning their trans and non-binary citizens who have their gender listed as 'X' that they should get advice from American embassies before travelling there.

Short summary of updates: The elections have tightened across the United States, and anti-trans ads have become a major part of the campaign cycle. As such, the risk has substantially raised for nationwide laws targeting transgender people in the coming years for both youth and adults. For states, the state of Texas has been upgraded to Do Not Travel, only the second state to receive such a recommendation.
