Any discussion of brain drain has the assumption baked in that only affluent people will be able to get in. "You're not educated? Back to burgerland with you!"

Can uneducated US citizens get an EU work permission?

I don't know. Couldn't you technically fly to the EU on a tourist visa and claim asylum? If the EU has travel advisory for trans people, it seems like it should be a thing, but I am probably way too hopeful there.

Sadly so far claiming asylum in an EU country hasnโ€™t worked yet for US trans people as far as I am aware. Also if an asylum claim is denied you will be sent back and barred from re-entry and work visas for a while. Itโ€™s not an application anyone should make lightly. Wish it were different. Maybe give it another few months and maybe theyโ€™ll stop being so worried about annoying the Cheeto and they will let beurocracy catch up with reality.
