The U.S. Office of Special Counsel on Thursday announced a landmark determination that the Department of the Army engaged in "frequent, pervasive and humiliating," gender-identity discrimination against Tamara Lusardi, a veteran and civilian Army software specialist who transitioned from male to female.
Lusardi was working in the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center ("AMRDEC") in Redstone, Ala., when she transitioned from male to female in 2010. During that time, the Army improperly restricted her restroom usage, referred to her with male pronouns and by her birth name and stopped giving her work, the OSC said in a report released Thursday.
