If you could choose to move outside the US, would you? (sh.itjust.works)

And if you'd decide to leave, where would you go?

Context for why I'm asking: I'm trans and currently live in Minnesota, I moved here from Florida so I have some idea of how miserable big moves can be. I can get EU citizenship which makes me very lucky, but... Do I sit here and hope Minnesota can protect me from 🥭 or do I try to build a life somewhere else, again?

If you don't mind the cold of Minnesota, maybe Norway could be a good fit. My sister and her trans boyfriend seem to thrive in Trondheim.

You might prefer a larger city in a more southern country if you want the option of proper city life. I hear the Netherlands is particularly good despite being rainy, not to mention very built up and close to other metropolitan centers. But if you like the outdoors, Trondheim probably fits well. It's pretty well developed for it's size, too.

Can I suggest packing light and moving around in the EU to see if you find a favorite place?
