When I go to USA next year...

@AbsolutelyFabulous very true, but not sure if that will work. US immigration staff never gave me the impression of having a sense of humour.

@Lugwho I don't think they do, they take it very seriously... But your real name etc isn't attached to this, so I don't think that they'd find it, or care

@AbsolutelyFabulous I'm logged in with s throw away email address too. I have to keep creating a new one every time I delete my account and then rejoin lol.

@Lugwho It depends on where you enter. Newark, definitely no sense of humour and on one occasion hostility and fear (he was spooked by the Saudi stamps and visas in my passport), but in Atlanta a Native American immigration officer made me feel very welcome with a smile and kind words.

But now that I am out as a full time CD/Trans and that trawling my SW posts and replies will uncover some that are critical of Trump and the US generally I shan't be risking it.

@ninalanyon That's interesting to hear. It was Newark I was thinking of.

@Lugwho I've been to the US dozens of times and most of the time immigration was simply irritating because it is so astonishingly poorly organized. Washington Dulles was the worst. It only takes one international flight to arrive out of order for the queues to back up into corridors with nowhere to sit, scarcely any ventilation, no access to toilets or water.

The big US airports in my experience are pretty poor compared even with Heathrow. The smaller ones such as RDU (Raleigh, NC) that have been more recently modernised are better but don't have many international flights.
