Trying to explain to US coworkers that there is absolutely no way that I, a trans person, am travelling to the US right now.

They seem very surprised by this.

@mikaylamic clearly they have not been paying attention

Ugh!

@gannet They seemed perplexed that I was not jumping at the chance to travel to South Carolina for a conference
@mikaylamic speaking as someone who lives in North Carolina: yikes!
@mikaylamic It's not great down here right now. D:
@NeilaK20 So many other Canadians I know are refusing to travel to the US, including people who aren’t in groups being particularly targeted. So it took me by surprise that these Americans were apparently entirely unaware of this.
