US trans woman challenging Netherlands asylum rejection was surprised to find she was not alone
« on: September 08, 2025, 06:14:08 am »
Veronica Clifford-Carlos, a 28-year-old artist from San Francisco hoping to win political asylum in the Netherlands, says she had always planned to build her life in the U.S. but changed her mind after getting death threats for being trans.

In June Clifford-Carlos - the first trans American to launch a legal challenge in the Netherlands against the rejection of an application for political asylum, left loved ones, including her dog Lilith, and flew to the Netherlands with her father.

Veronica said life had worsened for trans people during U.S. President Donald Trump's second term.
"I have people screaming f*ggot at me in the street... I have people threatening my life, threatening to assault me, threatening to follow me home and kill my family."

Since taking office in January, Trump has issued executive orders limiting transgender rights and rescinding anti-discrimination policies for LGBTQ+ people.

Earlier this year, the Netherlands - known for its strong protections of LGBT rights - updated its U.S. travel advisory urging LGBTQ+ travelers to be mindful of recent U.S. laws. But the United States is still considered safe and Veronica's asylum request was denied.

It's a little hard to believe this guy really was being followed around by people calling him names and threatening violence for being weird - in freaking San Francisco.  :whistle:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.
