Looking for ideas of where to move next. Places in the US that are lgbt friendly, and preferably have good trans healthcare. I’ll probably never be able to move to any of them, but it would be nice to pretend for a little while.

    90 days is a really long time haha, so I don’t mind that limitation for other countries. I’m still trying to figure out exactly what I am pursuing and what would be most strategic, but it seems like there is a lot of demand for IT jobs in many parts of Europe. I’m very interesting in programming, computer science, computer hardware, and networking – really anything with computers or electronics tbh. So surely there’s some niche I can fill.

      I don’t know what kind of service would do this, but I assume there are legal firms or services that help people figure out how to emigrate. This is a very long-term project, so it is worth really thinking through and planning, but if you can plan it even this early it might really help. I wonder even if you could find degree programs in Europe so you go to school there and might be more likely to make connections and find jobs. Getting a job is one of the hardest parts, as I understand it.

        Right now I’m taking things one step at a time. I got my legal name and gender marker changed several months ago and got my name and gender marker amended on my license 2 months ago, after already having it changed on my birth certificate (thankfully it was before Texas made the ban). While there’s still tons of other paperwork with different companies and entities I have to individually update (it’s such a pain), the only big important document left for this is my passport, and I have everything I need to update it ready except for a new photo. So that’s my first step. From there I’m not really sure what to do tbh, money is also an issue which is why I wanted to wait until I have a degree and can get a job (in community college atm). Maybe there’s some way to save up and attend uni in Europe but I’m really not sure.
