Interesting to compare that to the ILGA Rainbowmap which just contains Europe.
The european countries from the list above rank as follows:
Netherlands 13th
France 15th
Austria 16th
UK 22nd (below EU average)
Ireland 14th
Iceland 3rd
Switzerland 18th
Now obviously they use different scoring (‘travel’ vs ‘living there’) but I think it is interesting that they differ that much. Also the groups differ and the one from the article seems pretty broad. I would hope everywhere with substantial progress in LGBTQIA+ rights would also have proper womens rights and protections as well, since it is the same side of the (manysided) equality-coin. Imo racism is still pretty bad and widespread across europe, so not sure how much that factors into the list (though if it would be a strong factor I would be surprised to see Austria and Switzerland on this list).
From the Article:
What a low bar the world has for safety when this terf island is so high in the rankings
