    If you actually READ the sentence above the growing list of countries, you’d see the words “some form of travel warning”.

    The Smart Traveller link you keep responding with, lists a whole washing list of “normal” precautions to take when you visit the USA, including but not limited to: protests, violence, terrorism, guns, etc. Seriously, the advice includes getting active shooter training. That’s not normal in any sense of the word.

    In addition, the page states that you can apply for an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), which if you’d done your research before blasting me, you’d discover is at the heart of many of the warnings issued by other countries. Specifically, if your passport doesn’t match your gender assigned at birth, then your ESTA will, apparently, cause you to be turned back or locked up.

    Then there’s this page: https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/before-you-go/who-you-are/LGBTQIA

    I won’t be losing any sleep about my attempts to inform people about the reality of travelling to the USA at this time.

      The link you’ve provided proves my point. I suggest you look at the date last updated at the very beginning of the article.

      Your entire response is whataboutism of the finest degree.

      Australian has not even made the LGBTQ warning, The Netherlands and Belgium have, and you could link those.

      And now that you’ve disproven yourself re Australia I’m sure you’ll stop including it in your upvote seeking copypasta.

      Finally yes nobody should travel to USA at this point, but this is about you spreading misinformation.

        At no point did I state when these statements were made, or for what purpose. For example, Mexico specifically warns about Measles, no doubt the first of more to come.

        How the list I’ve created is used, is entirely up to the individual contemplating travel.

          That’s great buddy. Just add the links for those you can verify, remove the ones you don’t know for sure and stop turning something that could be factual and useful into a 20 season tv drama nobody asked for
