I've found that people born women and are trans-gendered simply dress like a man have no real trouble with others. It's the people born as men that find it difficult to be accepted. Transgendered men just look like a woman with short hair wearing a uniform. It's can be hard for some people to distinguish between a straight women who doesn't dress sexy, a lesbian who is a stud, and a transgender man who doesn't have facial hair.

If they look like a dude with a five o clock shadow wearing a wig then it depends on where I need help. If I needed someone to work up front and attract people or deal directly with customers then no. But if I needed someone to work in the back doing stock then yeah. And if we're talking about upper management (not directly in the store) then it wouldn't matter to me at all. Moderately attractive people have always been out on the sales floor.

Of course the folk who have been transgendered women since their teens and have taken hormones since their teens usually look like the women so I'd have no issue with them for an up front position.
