Maybe it’s different in Denmark, but as a hiring manager I never cared about the school or degree you have when you have over a decade of professional experience.

It is different in Denmark.

People will absolutely care LESS when hiring for very senior (i.e decades of experience) roles, but there is some measure of degree snobbery at every level in Denmark.

Degrees matter a lot in Denmark, as it is a highly educated society, but less in IT than other areas of the job market.
What will count most is your professional experience and your personality if/when interviewed, but if you are competing with people who have equivalent experience and are considered to fit the company culture equally well and they have a stronger CS background with a masters degree or higher, the lack of a masters degree will count against you. (As it will in any job that requires a masters or higher, obviously, but most don't.)
Your transgender status should be irrelevant, and with regards to language any larger company will only require good written and spoken English if you don't speak Danish, most smaller as well, so you've got that covered.
As others have said, go for it.
If you have the skills, the hardest thing is likely to be the residency and work permit. DO check out this page for people new to Denmark: https://nyidanmark.dk/en-GB

The people saying that it's different in Denmark are right but when it comes to IT they are dead wrong. None of my Software/electrical engineering colleagues have master degrees, and by now it's the norm in Software engineering to stop after a bachelor's degree (+6 months of paid internship). Your degree is good enough that no one will think twice, they will look at your experience and be impressed.
