Personally? My country wants me dead. “Oh but claim refugee status at the border” yeah, that don’t work if you’re coming from the US. The US is considered a safe harbor by Canada for LGBT people.
Let that sink in a moment. Canada still considers the US to be a safe harbor for people who are LGBT, and so explicitly (unless something changed literally in the past couple months) blocks refugees from the US.
it’s going to be increasingly hard for CA to justify US as a safe harbor for LGBT people when the US has literally erased the T, and is starting even to block trans people from obtaining US visas. not that I’m terribly optimistic that CA will even bother justifying it.
