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.)

Not here to cause drama nor do I have to time to be a “drama queen.” If everyone is accepting as most have said here, then it boils down to my technical expertise and finding a company that can help with the work-visa.

My only other concern is my age. Over 20 years professional experience. (Started programming when I was 13… hence 30+ years experience.) Don’t know if age discrimination is prevalent as it is in Japan.

I myself am also within the IT / tech industry within Denmark. I am not sure what you mean by discrimination other than the known "I have only done procedural programming my entire life and cannot spell cloud". I hope you get the point (being legacy skillset in terms of whats in demand currently).

Also, the most important point to take from this thread in general is:

Denmark is a surprisingly open and inclusive country. What we aren't very accepting of is people taking the victim role due to other cultures victimization of minorities such as gay, africans etc. It is not to say that there aren't discrimination but we are very aware of the fact that other cultural tendencies (in other countries) doesn't apply to ours. Acting as if they do; is very disrespectful towards Danes and Danish Culture as the fact is born out of ignorance towards our culture.
