From a non- paywall article about Hannah Kreager:

Her pending claim for protection in the Great White North could be a landmark case, the American believes.

'I'm here in Canada with a terrific lawyer taking up my unprecedented case: seeking asylum from the United States of America on the grounds of violation of human rights,' she posted online.

'My case is a precedent-setting one, and if successful, could make asylum for trans people in the U.S. possible.'

I hope she's successful. The Safe Third Country agreement needs to be ended. Until that time, the path to claiming refuge status from the US will be extremely expensive and onerous and not likely to be successful. The canadian government needs to be called out on their hypocrisy and refusal to 'rock the boat' by ending it.

I think there is a gross overestimation of the support that is available. I've seen a lot of bad articles copying and pasting different parts of immigration policy and programs but without understanding how it works as a whole.

Like, Canada has a website about helping LGBTQI+ refugees ( https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/refugees/about-refugee-system/2slgbtqi-plus.html ) and it includes partnerships with groups like Rainbow Railroad who can refer people in need of resettlement to the refugee process.

But if you only look at that and fail to consider the safe third country agreement, you're giving false hope.

Cops don't exist to protect you and they don't have to be physically fit to serve their purpose: using the threat of violence and the prison industrial complex to protect the interests of capital.
