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.)

No. They are saying 'please be a whole woman with something to talk about other than your minority status. Just be you and, at work, primarily a professional'. Do not drag American social mores with you. We don't suffer from guilt over the slave trade or any other historic sins we aren't personally responsible for. No one will say 'as a cis person I'm very sorry for what you've gone through'. Just be a human being. If someone asks about your status and history, it's because they want to get to know you. Even if it's clumsy, it'll be with friendly intentions.
