Report: Canada’s Immigration Lawyers ‘Overwhelmed’ with Transgender Asylum Requests from U.S.
Breitbart ^ | 16 Apr 2025 | Frances Martel

Posted on 04/16/2025 2:27:39 PM PDT by packagingguy

Canadian media reported this week that immigration attorneys and LGBTQQIAAP2S+ activists have noticed a significant spike in the number of requests for information from Americans identifying as transgender seeking to move to Canada, claiming persecution under the administration of President Donald Trump.

The Globe and Mail quoted multiple Canadian lawyers on Tuesday who said they were “overwhelmed” by the number of calls from alarmed transgender Americans seeking a way to claim political asylum in Canada. Some calls are also from parents whose children are being subjected to medical procedures in response to alleged gender dysmorphia, which the Trump administration has referred to as “child sexual mutilation” and vowed to eradicate.

One transgender activist accused President Trump of launching an “existential assault” on transgender individuals and condemned the leftist government of unelected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney for not updating travel advisories to warn transgender Canadians to stay out of America.

The report follows weeks of similar interviews with transgender individuals who oppose Trump’s policies protecting young girls in school sports from being forced to compete against men and his directives to mandate American passports and other legal documents recognize only “male” and “female” as existing genders, excluding non-binary, “two-spirit,” and other LGBTQQIAAP2S+ identities. In Canada, these individuals are allowed to identify their gender on government documents as “X;” according to the Globe and Mail, 3,600 people have chosen to use “X” on their passports.

“We are receiving numerous inquiries from U.S. nationals, including many trans individuals, who are no longer feeling safe at home,” immigration lawyer Warda Shazadi Meighen told the Globe and Mail. “International refugee protection is a last-resort option, granted only when a person’s home country is no longer safe.”

Looks like Canada is going to get a blitzkrieg of LGBTQQIAAP2S+ madness heading their way.

Imagine trying to be conservative there. Maybe Canadian conservatives can apply for asylum here.

“LGBTQQIAAP2S+ activists” I gotta admit they’re getting more creative, pretty soon it will be the entire English alphabet. They might have to go Chinese, alphabet wise.

Good let Canada have them and all the poor gays that might move there because of Canada’s sympathy toward sexually confused people.

As long as they don’t vote for anymore socialist policies, fine by me.
