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.)

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.

medical tourism destination

OP is talking about moving here to work. No one said anything about tourism.

So we are not happy for our taxes to pay for foreigners

OP is explicitly talking about moving to and working here, so she'll also be a taxpayer.

our taxes

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?
