Irish Woman Dept: Tanya Bloomfield is originally from Ireland and has been in Canada since 2006. She said being transgendered will make her a target for hate if she is sent back to live in Europe, according to CBC. Cohen and Bloomfield will then start preparing for a hearing that will take place sometime in the next 12 to 18 months and a transgendered Irish woman living in Nova Scotia has been deemed eligible to apply for refugee status, her lawyer says. Immigration officials on Thursday gave Bloomfield 28 days to file a 16-page, 35-question document to claim refugee status, said Lee Cohen, Bloomfield's lawyer. As
