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.)

Outside Copenhagen, my trans gf faced some comments in the street back when she wasn't passing, and two of my friends who live in the same town experienced racism as well. So like many other countries, the bigger the city, the better.

So, you find Copenhagen/Åhrus better than other cities. In the IT sector I don't think anyone cares and it's a sector with a big demand. I think the only struggle you could find is that in Denmark is very popular to bike to work and get changed office/sport clothes at the workplace changing rooms, so you might encounter it difficult if your legal documents still have the male gender and the workplace has gendered common changing rooms instead of individual ones.

About trans healthcare, the wait is long. First, you need a disphoria diagnose from the phyquiatrist to join the waiting list for the sexual clinic. Then, the sexual clinic will put you on HRT and supervise it, including giving you the prescription to buy the hormones and get laser hair removal for your beard area. Be aware that despite being affordable, the waiting time is +1 year to start HRT.
