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.)

I do believe that, D&I is a huge HR agenda, but HR doesn't hire people, people are hired by some manager in some department (people like me)

Also to be super cynical, I think what HR wants is pretty brown people, pretty transgender people etc, people they can put on linkedin and parede around to show just how great they are at D&I - but that in itself is wrong.

It's also a moving target, we will get there, 20 years ago it was diffucilt to be openly gay, today honestly I couldn't care less (maybe with a slight bias to see it as a positive thing) and I don't know any manager that would, I'm sure we will get there with transpeople as well.
