Now do the US.
Just wondering. Are the state departments of other countries putting out travel advisories warning transgender people about visiting the US?

LGBTI+
There is no US federal law that explicitly protects LGBTI+ people from discrimination and not all state and local non-discrimination laws include protections based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
Some states and localities have laws that may discriminate against or otherwise affect LGBTI+ travellers. Check relevant state and local laws.
Thanks!
The German foreign office only has a link to travel tips for LGBTQ+ folks in general in its list of warnings for the US.
But while looking for it, I found out that it has a section on nude bathing. Only the German government would feel the need to tell its citizens not to bathe nude in the US…
Nacktbaden
Nur an wenigen Stränden ist Nacktbaden zulässig oder geduldet. Ansonsten kann nicht nur das Nacktbaden, sondern auch schon das Umziehen am Strand als Erregung öffentlichen Ärgernisses aufgefasst werden und zu Unannehmlichkeiten führen. Dasselbe gilt für das Baden ohne Oberteil – nicht nur von Frauen, sondern auch von kleinen Mädchen.
- Baden Sie nicht nackt, wenn dies nicht ausnahmsweise zulässig ist.
- Baden Sie als Frau nicht ohne Oberteil.
- Lassen Sie auch von Ihnen zu beaufsichtigende kleine Mädchen nicht ohne Oberteil baden.
DeepL translation:
Nude bathing
Nude bathing is only permitted or tolerated on a few beaches. Otherwise, not only nude bathing, but even changing clothes on the beach can be perceived as causing a public nuisance and lead to inconvenience. The same applies to bathing without a top - not only by women, but also by little girls.
Do not bathe naked unless exceptionally permitted.
As a woman, do not bathe without a top.
Do not allow little girls who are to be supervised by you to bathe without a top either.

Nobody was surprised when Mr. Bolsonaro appeared out of nowhere and said that it was all the Left’s fault. Obviously he has no proof, but that detail never stopped him from making the craziest accusations against his enemies.
oh gee… who could have predicted THAT outcome! /s
So pretty much anyone who throws around the idea that Israel is the “only democracy in the ME” is now absolutely full of shit. If it isn’t abundantly clear to literally everyone that Netanyahu is an authoritarian like Trump, Orban, Le Pen, and Bolsanaro, then I don’t know what to say…
