    her ex-roommate at Colorado State University threatened her with a gun

    the case against the roommate was dismissed a few months later and a judge declined to keep the protection order in place

    claimed the ex-roommate continued to stalk her, and said police did not respond to her calls for action

    Considering the case is now quite publicized, I would be worried for this person’s safety if sent back to the US and the current political climate regarding transgenders.

      Just a minor note, you shouldn’t call trans people “transgenders”, gramatically it’s the same as calling black people “blacks” and can come off as rude.

      Lmfao this is a joke right? It’s this person’s responsibility to find new accomodations, and move if they need to. You can’t just fucking claim asylum because you have a stalker. Absolutely ridiculous argument.

        Are you living under a rock or something?

        You think this person will be safe in the US after all this media circus?

          Stop being disingenuous. There are plenty of states in the US that are very LBGT friendly. This person was in Colorado, which has extremely lax gun laws, so of fucking course they’re at risk of gun violence. And it’s not state-sponsored violence, it was a personal conflict. They have many, many options to ensure their safety in the US, including changing their name and moving. Both of which are easier than moving to Canada.
