Hello everyone, I'm having plans about moving from my home country for a while now, and Denmark seems like a good place to live, but I wanted to know more about it.
Firstly, language: According to Google, Denmark has about 80% of the population speaking English, how true is that? I am aware that if I'm planning to move to a country with a different language I most likely should learn it's native language, but I want to know how much of the country is "in English" if this makes sense.
Second, LGBT+ acceptance: I'm transgender and really can't come out in my country due to political/religious issues conflicting with it, and according to a friend of mine, Denmark is one of the most accepting countries when it comes to LGBT+ people.
Third, weather: Although not a main priority of my possible future destination, it's definitely something I consider heavily. I hate hot weather and it started to get me to consider moving to colder parts of the globe for a more bearable living. Considering how northern Denmark is compared to many countries, I'd like to know how the weather is usually like out there.
Fourth, costs: I'm underage and can't really do much at the moment, and costs have always been on my mind about everything, so knowing things like how much taxes are paid, the average cost of living, food, and such is definitely in my interest.
Fifth, life: How is it to live in Denmark? This may sound silly but it's a genuine question I have, how do you feel about living in Denmark? What's good or bad about it? What you did or did not like about it?
I'm looking for a place to be able to settle down safely and have a comfortable life in, from what I've seen, Denmark looks like a lovely place to be in and I'd like to know more about it.
Any help is appreciated! :) And feel free to ask questions if you have any!
Edit: Thought I should mention, I'm Brazilian

kvusqqqDifficult then. Others know more about this, but getting a job in advance with a given minimum salary could be a possibility. If you are at a university you might find a scholarship for some months but they are rather difficult to get I think, especially if you want to know the country in advance. Transgender: OK in the larger cities (Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense). Avoid smaller cities and countryside.

kvus2miYeah then just forget it and find some other place, you don't have a chance.

kvusthbVery very strict immigration rules for non EU citizens.
We had some bad experiences in the past with some take advantage of our generosity that we're stuck with now, and we don't want that to happen again.
