Your main issue will be gender affirming care honestly. Gender affirming care here is awful, truly awful. Make sure you get a gender dysphoria diagnosis/proof of treatment from your current country before coming as otherwise you might be forced to wait 2+ years before getting HRT. Keep in mind that estradiol injections are not available here unless you DIY.
If you want/need gender affirming surgeries you should know that SRS has an incredibly long wait list and FFS is not covered at all, best case scenario you might get a BA covered.

We are not a 'medical tourism destination'! Our medical system is covered by taxes. So we are not happy for our taxes to pay for foreigners expensive transgender surgeries! The OP should do this in Japan or the US.

Do you think a person is just able to walk into a clinic and get a surgery. Like have you ever read what getting surgery here entails? It’s clear that you haven’t.
SRS takes years of waiting and you have to be approved and been on hormones for at least a year before being put on the waitlist. Most Danish trans people aren’t able to ger any surgery done because the conditions are so awful here.

So then you will agree that foreign trans people shouldn't be signing up and and making your wait list longer, yes? That foreign people shouldn't be getting treatment in Denmark when even Danes are struggling to get it themselves?

No I think that we should adequately fund the healthcare system so it can provide care for the people living in Denmark including non-citizens.

OP is talking about moving here to work. No one said anything about tourism.
OP is explicitly talking about moving to and working here, so she'll also be a taxpayer.
A lot of people would absolutely be happy with their taxes going to gender affirming care. Most likely a minority if you asked them, but not your all-inclusive "we".

Question is focused on getting a job and the culture around acceptance of transgender people. I’m less concerned about “medical-tourism” and more interested in working there and, of course, paying taxes.

There is a 10 year waiting list for vaginoplasty in Denmark. You will be rejected if you are below 25 years old or if you will be above 40 years old by the time it's your turn to get the surgery. How do you imagine this "medical tourism" happening?
