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.
“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.”
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.
She added that ruling in Veronica's favour might also sour relations between the U.S. and the Netherlands.
But Sandro Kortekaas from Dutch advocacy group LGBT Asylum Support said the U.S. is being considered safe based on information predating Trump's second term and that the stark differences in trans rights policy should be acknowledged.
Official data show 29 Americans applied for asylum in the first half of this year, without giving the cited grounds. Veronica said she had expected to be the only one.
