This is basically true, but the OP should not take it personally. It's not targeted at trans people specifically. In general it is a bad idea to 'stand out' in Denmark if you are a minority, and especially not if you are also from a foreign country. That's just Janteloven, it's the way our culture is. It may not be the opinion of every Dane you meet. And a few in this thread disagree. But it is the overall dominant cultural trend. So you will have a MUCH easier time and get along with far more Danes if you 'keep your head down' when it comes to your transgender status.

Sounds similar to the Japanese view of 「出る釘は打たれる」 (“the nail that sticks out gets hammered”). A cultural demand that everyone must conform (or face sanctions).
