I have applied for a job, and I'm scheduled for an interview later today. They have had me sign twice to consent to a drug test. They want me to come back today, so that a male manager will be there, I'm guessing to "observe" the urine test (meaning he will probably be watching) Now..I have no qualms with taking the test, the problem I have is, if I'm "supervised" during it, that means that I have to out myself to a potential employer, something that I'm not really wanting to do, because I am female-to-male transsexual. I would like to go into the job just being known as male. Plus, if a manager or whoever "observes" that also runs me the risk of that person running their mouth, and before I know it, I'm outed to the entire job and all my co-workers.
If I refuse to take the drug test though, I'm automatically denied employment. What should I do? What's the best way to handle this situation without looking guilty or that I'm trying to hide something
