First: There are plenty of reasons to be concerned, but none to be scared; at least not yet.
Second: Getting your legal transition through as soon as possible is certainly a good idea considering the admittedly worrying circumstances.
Third: The now strongest party (in the EU elections in Austria) is not conservative but extremist right. In the EU parliament, there are three groups of right-wing parties: EPP (right-conservative), reform (far-right), ID (identiterians, extremist-right). The FPÖ ("freedom party") is part of the extremist group.
All in all, don't be scared; live's too valuable for that. You can do this. And the legal transition is significantly easier in Austria that e.g. in Germany or Italy. So yes, consider doing it here as soon as possible.
Come join us in the UK, i wouldn't want to live in a nation ran by the same party Hitler used to be in.
Keine Panik, aber sei besorgt.
Behalte die Dinge im Auge und und lese „Die Welt von gestern“ von Stefan Zweig, besonders die letzten Kapitel über die Entwicklungen zwischen den beiden Weltkriegen.
