In my opinion it would be insane to throw ANYTHING in to the mix that would make it harder for an employer to choose you. Unless I miss my guess, I'd bet that 90% of the TS folks here will tell you that in the best of times they probably had a hard time finding a job, and of those that did find employment, I'd wager quite a few of them are "under-employed" - not working to their education or abilities.
Were I looking for a job (a very real possibility soon) I will go to interviews with my nails clean and cut, my eye brows grown out, wearing a suit and tie and acting just as macho as I can. I wouldn't willingly expose ANYTHING that might make them hesitate to choose me.
This just means that they can't list your TG status as the reason for not hiring you. Don't kid yourself in to thinking that it wont be the cause in reality, and I wish you the very best of luck in ever proving that this was the reason you weren't hired.
