#Trump's #TransgenderRights rollbacks prompt allies to adjust travel warnings
by Avery Lotz, March 23, 2025
"Several European countries have adjusted travel guidelines for citizens seeking to enter the U.S. as the Trump administration has implemented several rollbacks on #transgender rights.
"The big picture: #Finland, #Denmark and #Germany urged cautionary planning for #trans and #nonbinary travelers seeking to enter the U.S. following an executive order requiring the federal government to recognize only two sexes: male and female.
- The advisory changes come as citizens from several European countries and beyond have been detained by U.S. immigration authorities over issues with travel visas.
[...]
"The Trump administration has made rolling back rights for transgender Americans a key priority of its early days in office, targeting military service, gender-affirming care, sports participation, federal recognition and other aspects of everyday life.
- References to trans Americans — and other minority groups — have been wiped across federal websites.
- However, many of the administration's measures have hit legal barriers in court."

Hey, want to read about some nice conservation news and look at pretty photos of new-ish nature reservations in Finland bought with donations both big and small? Here you go: "The Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation owns a growing number of conservation areas all around Finland. The first one, the Akanvaara Conservation Area, was acquired in 2000, and since then, we have received several new forests each year to be placed under protection."
on the contrary, i'm wondering if #finland is ready to take back #karelia and if #turkey can move into #circassia
what i'm telling you is that #russia is in serious decay on all topics
you are absolutely correct, now
but in 5, 10, 20 years?
@georgetakei I hope that #democrats can manage to get a large majority, I think we will see a change what a #president can and can't do, I would guess it will be more like in #Finland
"#Finland is again ranked the #happiest country in the world. The #US falls to its lowest-ever position"
None of this is surprising nor in doubt
I mainly post this to note that the #AP thinks the exemplary image of #Finnish #happiness consists of running around in your swimwear on a grey and gloomy day
I want to make a joke... but maybe that's really the secret? (/s)
"In Finland, more than half of consumers are shopping less for climate reasons"
"Today, during a meeting with the Speaker of the Finnish Parliament, Jussi Halla-Aho, leaders of political groups and heads of parliamentary committees, he spoke about steps for a just end to the war.
Our state, together with partners, is working on a plan to achieve peace and reliable security guarantees for Ukraine. Special attention is paid to supporting Ukraine on its path to membership in the EU and NATO."

@Free_Press big difference with that orange-thing in #USA that demanded personal gratitude for not doing anything and the #Finnish #President #Stubb who thought it was a honor that President of #Ukraine #Zelensky made a visit to his country.
I wonder how come #Finland has more allies than USA nowadays.
