kq2o0pkIt is sort-of OK. On the one hand, there is the idea that 'it doesn't matter who you are, as long as you do the job well'.
On the other hand, we do not tolerate the drama and social/political stuff, that in America they call 'woke'. We don't like that in Europe, especially not in Denmark. Do not advertise that you are transgender, do not make a big deal of it. Don't talk about hormones and surgeries with coworkers. Do not display yourself as transgender, wear pride colours to work, and do not expect special treatment because you are transgender. If someone is unfair to you because you are transgender, you need to let it go and not complain or make a fuss. If you complain about being treated unfairly, people will immediately side against you - because a complainer is our least favourite thing. If people use the wrong language or pronouns, just let it go because you won't get any sympathy if you are a complainer.
So in other words, just neutralize those aspects and do your job, and do it well, and you will be accepted.

kq37aczI wonder if women, in general, are taken as seriously as men in all professional settings. I’ve seen how men are almost always accepted regardless of faults in their logic. But flawless logic from women is always somehow questionable… is this something the Danes manage to avoid? Or, is it more universal outside the States and Japan?

kq407ofIt depends a lot on the company culture. Again large corporations/government welcome diversity and work to include everybody especially the ones with a 50/50 between men and women. Remember in these places a large part of management and project management is women.
I totally disagree with the person above saying that you need to keep your head down if anyone is rude/bullies or come with any other degrading comment. No matter if it's about your person, gender, sexuality or person. Politely put them in their place straight away if they continue go straight to your manager. Tbh I couldn't imagine anyone would have that behavior out in the open at a workplace.

kq3o2gaStop with the "we" lies, it's literally just your own intolerant opinion.
