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

Majority of young people can easily speak, write, and understand English. A large portion of older people can as well. We get taught English from first grade (I believe it is), so yeah a lot of people understand it.
Can't see why anyone should care what sexuality someone is. People like whatever they like. Same thing regarding being trans or whatever. I believe the majority of people in Denmark feel this way (at least based on anecdotal evidence).
Perfect. Denmark is known to be cold, but not like insanely cold. Mid summer can be annoying as fuck, especially when the temperature hits ~30 degrees...
Cost of living depends. Some cities are vastly expensive, while others are more manageable. Taxes are roughly 40 - 50%, and while it might seem like a lot, it really isn't when one thinks of how much benefit it brings.
It's good. The average life in Denmark is probably one of the best ones to experience in the world. High quality of living. Social security. People are a lot more trusting than in other countries. It's good. Not perfect. But good.

Good to know, I was also considering learning danish in the case I actually settled for Denmark as my new home.
Also good to know, I've been finding it harder and harder to find LGBT+ friendly countries that also speak English (to some extent at least).
That seems lovely, and although 30°c is a pain in the ass, if that's as high as it can get I'm more than fine with it.
I did some googling and it seems like the benefits are really pretty good!
That seems a good life to live huh?
