hardship of getting asylum as Transgender

http://www.fmreview.org/sogi/bach


Following up with the last post, this site explains why it's harder especially for transgender asylum applicants to get asylum(this site is referring to UK laws). For most asylum applicants, they have to prove that they are at risk of persecution. For Transgenders, this is particularly hard because it is hard to prove the "well-founded fear" and on top of that, they also have to prove their transition.

This site talks about Transgenders specifically but I can't imagine how hard it would be for any LGBTI applicants to go through this process because they basically have to gather any evidence of their past/present living in fear.
