Skip Germany. They’ve just banned wearing the LGBTQ+ flag in parliament claiming it’s “not neutral”. Even though, yanno, banning the damn thing definitely isn’t neutral.
Comment on Could I seek asylum as a US trans person in Costa Rica (or other countries)?

Everywhere in the EU is probably more safe than the US. We have pretty good protection for trans people and we all speak English (well, most of us). You could try Switzerland www.eda.admin.ch/countries/usa/en/home/visa.html and I suggest going to Bern as it’s quite liberal. Excellent health care system. Expensive though, but also good wages. Germany is cheaper and in the bigger cities you’ll be just fine. Good luck!

Tbf, banning a symbol in a government building is not the same as cops arresting you for using a bathroom. Its nowhere even close.

I used to live in Berlin and while it’s not perfect, it has a vibrant LGBTQ+ scene and I’d say it’s still much better than the US.

I know. I live here. Should have said “EU and some other countries in Europe that are technically not in the EU” but I didn’t think about it.
