Saw this on bluesky and thought I’d share here since I think there’s a lot of trans folks trying to find ways out of the US and this could potentially help in the future.

    You would still have to go through the same long and hard process as any other asylum seeker. Idk where you get the idea that trans people would be prioritized all this petition is about is legally qualifying trans people as apart of the class of people that can seek asylum in Canada.

    If you want an actual discussion is a statement like, “we shouldn’t help asylum seekers because what’s stopping an immigrant from exaggerating the conflict they face in their original homeland to try and seek asylum?” In good faith?
