How difficult is it to get an IT job in Denmark as a transwoman? (leddit.danmark.party)

I have over 30 years IT experience and in my mid-40s. I'm a US citizen living in Japan and considering a move to Denmark. I'm wondering how difficult it would be to find a job as an IT (cloud) Architect or software engineer while being an obvious transgender person. (I don't think I pass as a woman by a British mile.)

As someone who has a lot of experience in C25 companies, I agree. There is a low tolerance for drama but a high degree of inclusion as long as you don't ask for special treatment.

Yes that's true. Some here deny it, but ultimately Janteloven is in operation. To thrive in Danish culture, you have to 'keep your head down' about drama and not ask for special treatment either, whether you are transgender or something else. Danish culture is generally suspicious of foreigners that 'put on a show' of being unique and special. That's why it is better to focus on the job and the work, and to not make a big deal out of being transgender.
