i’m sorry i copy-pasted chatgpt trying to be funny

i live in amsterdam, i’ve only been in belgium as a tourist so i don’t know most of these things either, but i can help looking things up in dutch if it helps.

from what i’ve read it seems that the housing market is better there than it is here, but that doesn’t say much unfortunately.

from what i understand you register for social security and then join a ziekenfonds/mutuelle/health insurance fund, which partially covers your medical expenses. for example, the vlaamse sociale bescherming costs 31 or 62 euros per year. it’s also possible to sign up for private insurance which covers the remainder. then there’s also a limit (maximumfactuur) which is income-dependent, but above that limit everything should be fully covered.

from what i know belgium and especially most big cities rank among the most lgbtq-friendly places. but if the situation is anything comparable to the netherlands, there are growing reactionary transphobic movements.

i can’t really say anything about everyday life in belgium as a queer person, afaik most people are respectful and queerphobia isn’t seen as an acceptable position, but gnc and non-binary identities are probably not widely understood.

from what i can find dutch supermarkets operating in belgium (like albert heijn) have the largest assortment of vegan products, and veganism seems to be growing. as for clothing and stuff i’m not sure.

of course , but i don’t live in belgium :(

they seem to be doing better than us at least, but i don’t know much about the general public attitude or any state repression.

sorry for having to prefix pretty much all of my answers with an afaik, but i hope it helps at least somewhat!!!
