And no one buys into the transwomem are women over here. On social issues euros are more conservative, more ethnocentral and more racist. If you're an immigrant you can become an American but you will never become a German, just doesn't work like that.

Where in Europe do you live? I was born and raised (and still live) in the Netherlands, and our experiences are clearly very different. Of course, there exist racists in any country; I don't deny that. However, racism certainly isn't generally accepted here. This is supported by the fact that the alt-right occupies less than 20% of seats in Parliament (10% in Germany).

  A lot of the interactions what immigrants like me in western europe have to go through are considered racist in america, that was my point. Ask anyone who has been an immigrant in EU and US. America is far more welcoming. Also in Spain where I live is welcoming to lgbt in general, the feminists are all what Americans would consider terf and it's mainstream, actually in power right now - women are women, no prostitution, no to surrogacy, no to porn production.

    I am a child of immigrants. I'm sorry that our experiences differ on this point. It may be possible that the south is more conservative than the west, but be careful about falsely generalizing this to 'world standards'. By the way, Spain is generally considered part of Southern Europe, not Western Europe.

The majority of Germans support self-id laws for trans people (Selbstbestimmungsgesetz). Both in parliament and society overall, a broad majority supports this. So, you're wrong on this topic, too.
