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.)

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
