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.)

Many Danes can be uncomfortable with the 'different'. BUT it is egalitarian and practical here. People in the Danish workforce are treated equally. What matters is that they can do the work well.

Just make sure that you are better qualified, so things can even out. A non-transgender applicant for a job will get chosen first if they have the same qualifications as you, so make sure you have better qualifications than they do (on average) to make up for it. The same with being a foreigner. A Dane with the same qualifications would get chosen first, so you need to make sure your qualifications are better. If your qualifications are substantially better than all the cis/Danish applicants, you will probably be chosen.

So ultimately what matters is your ability, not who you are.

Sounds technocratic, which I support. 👍🏻
