If you're going to say that you would hire this person based solely on their qualifications for a job then in some cases you would simply have to turn down someone who was very poorly presented or as people put it here "obviously" trans-gendered, much in the same way that if you turn up for a job with a masters degree in the field you're applying for but you have a tattoo of a swastika across your forehead or a racial slur you are going to turn that person down for something other than their qualifications.
Some/Most jobs it's about how you present yourself and are going to work in the job role, if you're having an interview with someone and all that is coming across during it is basically that the person is trans-gendered then they aren't bringing anything to the table really, while I would never discriminate if I was hiring for a spot based on the fact that a person was now not the gender they were born as, I most certainly wouldn't turn a blind eye to the fact that in a lot of job roles something that makes a companies customers uneasy is a terrible thing, regardless of what causes it, and losing customers because of a member of staff for a company should always have the same result as to how that staff member is treated.
