Im from the same country as you. I would also try to transition legally as fast as possible, it's hard enough as it is (for me as an nb it's not even possible). But I have slight hope the far right extremists that won the EU election won't win the national elections. Why? A lot of people in our country disagree with the EU and what it does. It makes sense, as a small country, policies will often override our best interests. Think transit traffic for example. Or regulating german language product names to something that only Germans would call the products (I know that's not a huge issue but people care about this sort of stuff). And for that reason, I think it may just be possible that many voted for the most anti EU party possible. I still expect the conservatives to win, which won't exactly be a win for human and queer rights either, but not quite as scary.
I genuinely feel sorry for you, you don't even have the privilege of gender neutral pronouns in German ;-; (except for "es")...
Let's just hope that what you said will actually be true... I'd rather have that conservative party that can't seem to not be in some controversy in our Parliament than those far right fuckers
