El'Jai Devoureau's job at a New Jersey drug treatment center was taken away as quickly as it was offered. It wasn't glamorous: In June of 2010 he was hired to ensure that male patients giving their urine samples for testing weren't cheating. The economy is tough, and a job is a job.
On his second day of work at Urban Treatment Associates in Camden, his supervisor found out that Devoureau, now 39, was born female.
