I am sorry for the troubles you are in, hang in there.
I would say you should start by looking at visa, visa requirements and decide on a path. Depending on where you are from you might speak Spanish / Portuguese. With that I’d say aim for Spain or Portugal. Try to find a university, work or path of education you could do. There might be a network for trans people in Spain or Portugal who are willing to help with relocation. It could also be possible to apply for asylum due to the danger of your home country.
If Spanish isn’t an option most if not any European country will be able to help you out in English. UK is an obvious choice but atm they have their own problems around trans rights so I would at most use them as a temporary shelter before moving to a different EU country like Germany or Norway. Ireland is potentially also very good, as a stepping stone.
There is the trans network in the Netherlands they might have some resources for you.
Only one of those three countries is in the EU, fyi. Not to knock your comment, it seems like very good advice.
Eh keep forgetting Norway ain’t EU and just shengan but it’s close enough 🫣 and to my credit for the UK I did say European 🤭
