Hitachi Asks Sex Change Executive to Make Tea

[Mulboyne]

Independent: When they demoted me because I became a woman I considered suicide
A transsexual business executive says she was driven to the brink of suicide after she was "demoted" at work after changing sex to become a woman...The data analyst is now claiming damages of 500,000 pounds from Hitachi Data Systems for discrimination...The executive, who, as Joshua, had been used to working on multi-million pound contracts with huge IT clients, including the US Department of Defense, claims that she was made to book hotel rooms and arrange meals after she returned from surgery as a woman. "I jokingly said that when I had my breasts done the company must have assumed that they used my frontal lobe as a filler"...more...

WTF does this he/she/whatever it is expect?

transphobic new addition to the English language?

Her wife Sharon, 40, to whom she has been married for 15 years, says she was terrified her partner would commit suicide during the ordeal. "

So let me get this straight. They were a male-female couple before he had his tools removed and they are still married?
Jesus, if my wife went out and got an adadictome I don't think I would stay around.

"Before, I was in charge of all the consulting in the Middle East and America, but now it was my new boss who was doing this.
It expects to work with customers from the Mid East after getting a sex change? Hell, they execute homos there. I am sure they would be real accepting.


She has three grown-up children from a previous relationship and two adopted children of Haitian background whom she raised with Sharon.

She was diagnosed with gender dysphoria - a condition suffered by a person being born into the wrong gender - after counselling at the Kinsey Institute in Indiana in 2003.How can you have three kids then be diagnosed saying you are the wrong gender?

Ms Bussert now lives full time as a woman, but has yet to have the final stage of gender reassignment surgery.
Seems like a good legal argument for the Hitachi lawyers. Now he/she is nothing more than a drag queen until the final surgery.

It is illegal for an employer to discriminate against a trans-gendered person unless the person's sex is an occupational qualification.
How does the law rule on cases like this where they switched horses in the middle of a stream after they were employed?
