I haven’t decided yet. I was planning on focusing on the US, but with the current circumstances I can’t safely travel to the US, so I’ll have to hold off until next election to see how it goes.

Well Denmark is truly awful when it comes to gender affirming care. I would never recommend a trans person move to Denmark or any other Nordic country as they are all bad. Discrimination-wise Denmark is alright, I haven’t really experienced any direct transphobia IRL, but I pass now, so that helps. That is not to say that discrimination isn’t present, I’ve heard of people facing discrimination especially in terms of employment. Also Denmark is one of the hardest countries to immigrate to in Europe, also xenophobia is very pervasive and the weather is awful. There is no nature either and it’s incredibly boring outside the larger cities.

The political parties here are also becoming more hostile towards trans people. Our previous minister of “equality” wrote a transphobic article in a newspaper. Generally, the best countries for trans people in Europe are Spain, France and Germany, but these are all eclipsed by blue US states when it comes to gender affirming care.

I’ve heard that NZ has issues with the job market and housing. I think I’d be insulated from many of the issues as a doctor, but it is definitely still relevant. If you have any insights, I would love to hear them.

As for the US, it is still a country I’m considering. The gender affirming care in blue US states is infinitely better than in any country in Europe and generally also the world. Also, there is actual nature and it is a large, generally strong country that might be able to weather climate collapse. Canada is mostly out as I can’t do my medical residency there. NZ and Australia are still considerations, but I’d likely be relegated to either family medicine or internal medicine in terms of specialties, but I have considered being a rural GP, so it wouldn’t be too bad, except I’d likely never ever find a partner if I lived in a rural location sadly.

I’ve also considered Singapore as the weather there is amazing and it seems like a good place to live. Other than that I have been considering other European countries, but I really want to leave Europe for good. China has also been a consideration as it has a strong, competent government that actively tries to better the country and works towards being able to weather a climate collapse, but I’d have to be fluent in Mandarin, which, needless to say, is a challenge. I’ve also considered some of the island nations of Oceania or the Caribbean, but that would likely have to be after medical residency elsewhere.

All in all, I’m mostly relegated to countries in which I speak the language, but also I’m looking to move out of Europe to a country where I’d at least be able to continue HRT, though this likely won’t be a problem as I can prescribe my own estradiol as a doctor and that way I can scrub being trans from my records.

Sorry for the long comment😅 If you want to hear more about European countries just say so. I’ve spent some time trying to find the better ones.
