Scandinavian IT business has been booming for quite some time but is now entering a recession. Your main problem will be finding an employer prepared to go through immigration purgatory for you, but if you find one, the rest should be easy in comparison.

Denmark is socially progressive, but it's a bit behind on issues like feminism, trans inclusivity and, well, contemporary Western ideas of gender in general. It's culturally far from trans havens like the San Francisco Bay Area. Most Danes I know can not take the idea of a gender neutral third person pronoun seriously, for instance (some see it as a joke, others are outright offended by it).

But what the Danes lack in that department, they make up for by being wonderfully accepting to whatever quirks you have, as long as you're wearing them confidently. You will be fine as long as they don't think that you're demanding special treatment (There's a recurring theme of the foreigner entering Denmark to get special treatment – and I don't know to this day what that entails – thus threatening Danish identity. It probably stems from the world famous Janteloven, which you may want to google before making any further decisions on this).

Also, there's a bluntness to Danish culture that may be triggering if you have PTSD from decades of being on the receiving end of transphobic microaggression, for instance. On the other hand, Danes can take a good clap back. Once you get the hang of it, it's great fun.

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.

The issue is not that you're trans, the issue is that you're American
