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

Discrimination against nature vs discrimination against factors you can change however. 

You shouldn't discriminate over someone being born brown, but you can essentially do it over someone with fake red hair color because that was a choice which can be changed, and you might have personal preferences in that case.

I get the ethics behind transgender is that is not a choice, but it is a choice to change gender, not sex, so it wouldnt really apply if someone discriminated on the grounds of appearance of the individual.

How about someone who is obese?

Well there's fat people, and disabled people. If you're thinking about efficiency, you probably wouldn't hire either.

If it came down to 5 equally qualified people, 4 of them were normal sized and a mixture of athletic, and one was obese, then i'd choose one of the 4 out of personal preference, because odds would suggest the fat person is more likely to take days off.

When it comes to work, people have to change themselves a lot of the time for the work, so if the general consensus is people aren't hiring obese people, then a person should try there hardest to lose weight or they are essentially forced to change their career path because it is a competitive jobs market.
