I am not trying to encourage you to leave your home, but to answer the question factually - I have traveled in many places in the world, and probably the best places to live as a transgender person would be the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Norway or Sweden, Iceland, Ireland, and Canada. The United States has good and bad places. California and New York are great places, as is Massachusetts. Certain cities in other states stand out as being very good, such as Portland (Oregon), Denver (Colorado), and surprisingly, my home city of Kansas City (Kansas/Missouri border).

Una can you guide me to undergo transition in your home country and settle there. I really want to start to live my life real and want to be a woman in a new life out of all these past places. Kindly help

padminimtf the hardest part would be getting over to the US for any reason. I just brought my assistant over for a work Visa from Mumbai, and it took an extensive amount of work to bring her. I am very happy to help people once they are here, but I am not an immigration expert and do not know how Visas can be obtained.

The best way to do this is do some research on which countries are more immigrant-worker-friendly, and start applying for jobs/education there. A few examples that come to mind are Netherlands(need to learn Dutch), Germany, Canada, S. Korea(big demand for English teachers). There are a few South Asian countries where it's easier to relocate for Indians because of easier visa regulations, like Thailand, Singapore etc. Best way is to recognize your professional strengths, and apply for jobs based on that. All the best

Canada can be a nice place if you have the demand for job etc since they are more welcoming towards workers and all. I think it may or may not be hard to get into EU depending on the situation and why you are applying for VISA. Thailand and Singapore and more feasible options i guess but you can also look at something like New Zealand and AU.
