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.)

Correct. It’s not trans-specific, FWIW - basically every visible minority will occasionally run into this “you’re OK to exist but please don’t remind us of it” vibe in Denmark.

I’m loath to call it homophobia or racism tbh, it’s more like an extremely toxic manifestation of “Janteloven”.

It's a Danish thing to not like when people want the spotlight. Danish culture favors humble. That's not the same thing as self eradicating, and it's a far cry from janteloven.

In essence, don't put yourself on a pedestal for others to marvel at. It's not about minority or being different - it's about humility.
