No it's important to be accurate. What if your nan's got directions to take a sharp right down the hidden driveway after the deep blue planet, but she can only see pale grey planets??? Hmm???

You're right, I exaggerated the point for effect and shouldn't have.

Do you have proof that the roommate was stalking her with a shotgun, or are you just making assumptions? The article only mentions that she was threatened with the gun once, and makes no mention of subsequent occasions including any firearms.

Edit: a quick Google search of "Daria bloodworth shotgun" returns no results. Did you just invent the detail of it being a shotgun?

Because it doesn't take an academic to understand the difference between a domestic dispute being taken advantage of and someone who's being cleansed by a regime.

If this person was a trans person from Afghanistan then that absolutely would have been a justified refugee claim.

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.

Being targeted by a single person doesn't make someone applicable for asylum. And there are about 49 other states this person can move to if they actually cared about finding a solution. We shouldn't put this person on the same level as victims of state-sponsored genocide, political prisoners, and others. There are other plenty of other cases of people not receiving police protection from stalkers, just because they're trans doesn't means that's why.

Y'all haven't experienced pain until you come across dogs in The Last of Us 2. The sounds the dogs make if you don't kill them with a headshot are the worst part of the game and I'm not exaggerating. And then it's owner will start wailing over its body. If you kill the human, the dog will start whimpering over its owners body. I played the pacifist on those levels cuz it was that bad.
