    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.

      As much as I’d like to concede the point, it sure sounds like more than a run of the mill domestic dispute. However, I will say other than that, I can see the basis of your argument.

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