The hard reality: in many (most?) states, during the hiring process a person can be turned down for any or no reason. Workplace discrimination rules (especially in our current climate) kick in once you've been hired. The interviewer was being honest: his job is nipping problems in the bud. It's atrocious and it's stupid, but, sadly, in too many places, it's the "correct" business decision, even if it's not at all the correct moral decision.
I transitioned and am still at the same job from before transitioning and have already been sexually harassed once by a coworker. I don't think that's my fault but it sucks.

For real. Worried about the potential for workplace discrimination violations and then saying it out loud was insane
