I'll (Canada) probably be skipping a conference that we usually do each year in the states as well. Not worth potentially getting my phone/laptop scanned and data stolen.
Imagine getting to a point where people need burner phones to enter the US.
I'm trans. If there is a scientific conference in the states, you can be damn sure I'll be sitting that one out
Kindly fuck off. Your bigotry is not welcome here.
Fuck off and die, Nazi shit bag.
