Yeah trans public healthcare in Ireland is straight up non-existent, but it's not a bad place to be trans for someone willing to go through private healthcare or just DIY. Social acceptance seems decent and there don't seem to be many barriers in the way for things like legally changing name and gender.

yea this is fairly accurate, you essentially have to go private or DIY cause the govt doesn't give a fuck about us but socially it's not particularly scary compared to a lot of places. as well to get surgeries you have to go abroad, total no-go domestically barring breast augmentation.

Where do people in Ireland typically go for surgery? I’ve heard Spain is a popular spot for Europe, but I was curious about Colombia given their big cosmetic surgery industry. Does Cuba do that sort of thing I wonder?

it's my impression that Spain is a popular one yeah, it's not something I've looked into a great deal though

I misunderstood the graph as general trans rights. Still not ideal, but not bad
