声称因性别或性少数而受到迫害的个人在政治庇护程序中面临许多障碍，包括证明身份和迫害的额外负担。根据我们自己与政治庇护申请人的工作、法律的报告以及向寻求庇护者提供援助的团体的报告，我们审查法律和障碍，并考虑对申请人的怀疑的基础和支持条件。我们观察到特定的叙述是如何在审讯过程中变得无法讲述的，以及性少数群体的身份是如何变得不可见或超可见的。
Individuals claiming persecution on the basis of gender or as sexual minorities have faced many obstacles in the political asylum process including additional burdens of proof of identity and of persecution. Based on our own work with political asylum applicants, on legal reports, and on reports by groups providing assistance to asylum seekers, we review the law and the obstacles and consider the conditions underlying and supporting suspicion of the applicants. We observe how particular narratives are rendered untellable in the interrogation process and how the identities of sexual minorities become either invisible or hypervisible.
