Transsexual in discrimination claim

A transsexual management consultant has taken her employer to a tribunal claiming compensation for unfair dismissal and discrimination. The transsexual alleges that she was made redundant because of her sex change. As a man, she had earned £150,000 a year, but after the sex change, she claims she was sidelined, discriminated against, and her work dried up, resulting in her dismissal. She had worked at the company as a senior consultant for three years as a man, but was sacked just nine months after the sex change operation.
