Colorado transgender woman's REFUGEE status in Canada is overturned after she claimed she suffered persecution because of her gender identity in the United States

Canada's Federal Court has overturned a Colorado woman's refugee status after she claimed asylum from the US based on her gender identity.

Transgender woman Daria Bloodworth gained refugee status in Canada after successfully arguing that a combination of gun culture and rising transphobia put her at risk in America, CBC News reported.

Bloodworth, 36, told the the Refugee Appeal Division in 2019 that she had been stalked by her college roommate who she alleged had threatened her with a gun.

Bloodworth, who is now studying biological sciences at Yukon University, claimed she was the target of threats and violence from her former landlord and a debt collection agency, according to court documents,

In October 2022, the court determined that Colorado authorities were incapable of protecting her and that her safety couldn't be guaranteed elsewhere in the US.

Now, Judge Christine Pallotta said the committee failed to identify 'any gap in Colorado's laws, which include state-level laws to protect transgender individuals' and overturned their decision to grant protection.

Bloodworth plans to appeal the ruling to the Federal Court of Appeal.

'It was made pretty clear from the get go that this was going to be an uphill battle, winning this thing, or even staying in Canada a little bit longer and not get murdered in the US,' Bloodworth told CBC.

'I honestly feel like this is home. I'm not going to say Canada's perfect, but at least since I've moved here, I haven't been threatened with a gun or threatened with a knife.

'I haven't been discriminated against because I'm transgender,' she said.

“Daria” is just a man pretending to be female.

Inquiring minds: was the purported stalker also transgender?

And of course it's a fat ugly male f@ggot pretending to be a woman.

He/His. Not a woman.

Yes, but he’s studying Biology at a Canadian university. Things like “Boys have a penis. Girls have a vagina”. It could prove to be educational.

At least one Canadian court is saying they are not required to believe mentally ill people without any evidence.

Two possible reasons.

1) She’s there because of a totally free education and/or to take advantage of https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=098&top=11, OR

2) she’s got an open warrant, FTA or some other legal problem that hasn’t presented itself yet.

There is ALWAYS some kind of ‘angle’ with these people.

Even the ones who used to have those things.

She seems nice. The Yukon guys must be fighting over who gets to date her.

I think there’s a lot of mentally ill people in Canada.

They keep putting Trudeau back in office.

Yep, now I’m stuck here listening to Norm.
He had some really funny ones if you can take it.
The moth joke is definitely worth a search as well.
