That's such a painful story.. I feel so sad Of course someone who has been in the closet in order to survive, maybe has not had the chance to free their mind yet, and develop their whole free personality in their full sexuality yet.. it's absurd to think they could under so much threat! It's very natural that this can take years to figure out completely! How can any government official who is tasked with protecting LGBTQ refugees not understand the process of coming out! Especially from such a repressive country which has suffered the British colonial history. I'm in a liberal country in the west, and I didnt come out til my late 20s, and my parents took me to pride parades since I was a teenager and I still didn't know! That's so unjust that an official would discriminate, and not understand that especially female sexuality would take longer than others to develop, in order to protect yourself and actually stay alive! The very real threat of sv and other forms of psychological abuse is so scary. The process of coming out is long and complicated. Very few LGBTQ people know clearly that they are that way since early childhood or early teens. It's very very common for it to take til early twenties or late twenties or thirties, or fifties, or seventies! And that is ok! That is the very real consequence of societal violence worldwide to our community, and it's not our fault, nor a weakness of mind, not to know who they really are until they have time to heal from the force of societal pressures to be straight and the assumed straight upbringing. I'm so so sorry she has experienced that intimidation from officials. That should absolutely not happen. It's completely unethical. I'm so very disappointed to know that kind of aggression could be permitted by the management of refugee services. To scare a refugee this way, as if it protects Sweden from "cheating" asylum seekers is ineffective and unethical. It's not a true test, and only furthers the harm that brave refugees have gone through. I'm happy to sign something for her, and I hope many others do too! Thank you for highlighting her story, I hope her and her wife have many happy years ahead together ❤
