This is not a decision you should be making in the middle of a panic attack. Emigrating demands extensive planning and carefully selecting a destination, particularly as a transgender person. I often have to tell young trans people this, and it's relevant here: There are no good places for trans people, only bad places and worse places.
It is the same for disability. As a disabled trans person I've come to some peace (though not quite fully) with everywhere in the world just being shitty for me forever. When it gets bad enough where I live it will be worth the calculus of determining the least bad of "bad" or "worse" places, which I am preparing for in my own ways, but in the US and western European countries we are not there yet.
