Yes, it's a can of worms. The bolded part is not true. A transexual is a person who is not happy with the gender they were born with and they are actively trying to emulate or become the other gender.  

It's important in a employer to employee relationship to be polite with a transexual employee or applicant (with any employee). You should refer to them as the gender they identify with and to use their prefered name instead of the given one. It's rude to them if you don't. 


You can be dismissed from an Interview for having a number of buttons done up on your jacket that the interviewer doesn't like, Don't imagine that if there is 500 applicants for a position that the Interviewer is going to be kind and nice to every single person they know are not the one of the job. They get paid for the most part to fill a position not by how much time they spend on each interview which is a dead duck.

Like I said I wouldn't expect any interviewer to entertain the thought that someone who has had drastically poor work/makeup done to alter gender should be put higher up on the pile than a woman who was born with a face not made for receptionist work due to trying to be PC, that is just wrong. I'm not saying that the fact that they are transgendered should have any negative points against a person getting a job, but they shouldn't get any special treatment because of it either.

I was mainly talking about addressing them as a her or a him. It likely to end in a lawsuit if you keep calling a transexual a he or being rude to your employees.
