I feel horrible for the woman in the story. I'm glad she got taken in by Canada but definitely, this does create some major risks to her safety even in a country that supposedly is accepting of trans people. I've heard enough stories from friends, and just. It's not safe. Even if you pass 100%, if you get outed you're in danger. Maybe even more depending on who it is you're dealing with.

Canada is not the 'safe haven' for anyone who isn't part of the majority, despite what the government advertises. My college's librarian, who has 4 degrees, speaks 4 languages, and is working on a fifth, immigrated from India. She has had nothing but problems during the entire process and she is a very educated woman with a lot of 'spunk'. How are those who are not as educated supposed to figure it out?
