Flying to Vancouver tomorrow to visit my family and I'm nervous AF about coming back [1]

So I had to postpone my annual Christmas return to Canada because I was working on project with a very tight deadline and I rebooked my trip to leave tomorrow and return Saturday. This plan was made well before the Mango Mussolini took power and my hope back then was that Harris would win the election and there wouldn’t be any problem.
Well we all know how THAT turned out, now don’t we?
So now I’m leaving tomorrow morning and landing in a country that is currently being treated by this Klanned Yam in a way that echoes how Germany treated Poland in the 1930’s.
I will let you know how it goes. My biggest concern, of course, is what I will be facing when I encounter US Customs and Border Control on my way back. I changed my passport to a Female gender marker back in 2014 and I’m really REALLY hoping I don’t get hassled by the border agents.
But I honestly do not know because there is no information and no guidance as to what the US Government is instructing their agents on how to handle transgender travelers coming back to the USA.
I AM a dual citizen so I’m not expecting any problem from the Canadian border agents.
Stay tuned, I will keep you all posted. Maybe I’ll whip out my iPhone and interview some Canadians while I ride the ferry to Vancouver Island.
