Would you hire a transgender if you were the boss of a store?

Absolutely. I've experienced enough in my short time on this earth to know that judging someone in that way is simply wrong.

I would treat them as I treat any other worker. So, as long as they are qualified for the position, they have the job. Even if I lose customers as a result, I would refuse to fire them for that. A line has to be drawn when it comes to human decency.

And if I lose customers because of that, then that´s not the kind of costumer I want.

Also depending on the kind of business, the target audience and the zone of the city it could even be a plus as it could be saw as a modern and shameless business, wich is cool, but even if not, we can´t be denying jobs to functional people just because of that, specially in countries where that is already well accepted, i do understand it would be impossible in countries like Russia without someone bleeding though.

I mean, I'm not saying the customers leave because they're transphobic, but some may just avoid returning because they are less comfortable with the social situation of an 'obvious transgender'

For example, I probably wouldn't return to a bakery store where the server was a 'typical-ghetto' just because it is very socially awkward, not that I am discriminating against ghettos or him
