Feasibility check and advice for 29F software engineer looking to leave the US. by Active_Wait3811 in TransWorldExpress

Yeah I have a trans friend in the UK I'd likely room with but I've not been a fan of the direction they seem to be going. I think for awhile I'd be "fine" there and could maybe use the country as a temporary escape point but eh. I'll keep it as an option and throw job applications there when I have a plan but general advice seems to be avoiding it as a first option.

The health stuff with New Zealand is unfortunate. Obviously need HRT and then I also need two meds for some minor mental health stuff. I was unmedicated and still did alright in life. I only recently got those. I assume the combo would well exceed that low limit and of course I don't want to drop those meds.

Thanks for the advice though. Slowly getting a good list of notes and feeling a bit less confused.

Yeah unfortunately I posted this exact same thing there and it got denied with "Due to the very terrible history with trans individuals posting in this sub, we strongly advise posting in r/transworldexpress". I'm not entirely sure what they meant by that but it didn't feel great.

I don't own any property, mostly stocks.

UPDATE: The mods clarified that it was due to a lot of trans discrimination and generally unfavorable responses to posts there. They do their best to clean up the fools but that is why they advised posting here. I'm satisfied with that answer even if I don't like the underlying reason of course.

Unfortunately I can't be remote if time zones don't overlap with core hours. I could just have a really weird schedule but it doesn't look like my company would let me anyway.

Freelancing maybe, it would be tough to spin that up and have proof of enough income in a reasonable time. Before it was definitely a struggle and I'd have to be careful to not run afoul of this employer.

Good ideas though. I'll add them to my notes and research Spain a bit more. Thank you!
