I mean, good call, Canada.

About damned time. I was checking the LGBT travel advisories a few months ago, and was surprised that the US was green. Absolutely no way should anyone be travelling to Florida.

Red states are dangerous for any nonwhite male. Women? Traveling to a red state and get raped? Whelp better hope you don't find out that you are pregnant while still in the state. LGBTQ+? Whelp, better hope no one knows your sexual identity or you could be denied life saving medication or could be jailed for simply using the wrong bathroom. Black? Whelp, people are literally hunting you while you try to pick up snacks at the local dollar general.

So Canadá is going to let trans people get treatment with informed consent model, right?

Right?

Some of our states are really good for trans people. A map of which regions yo avoid would be far more helpful than a blanket warning.

A lot of states with those laws probably also have "Stand Your Ground" laws and loose guns regulations, so really nobody should go there.
