Seattle-area blood bank sued by transgender woman

The Olympian/Washington state  September 1, 2015 By DONNA GORDON BLANKINSHIP

"A transgender woman has filed a federal discrimination lawsuit against a Seattle-based blood bank, saying she was fired after changing her donor profile to female to match her reissued birth certificate.

In the lawsuit filed last week in U.S. District court in Tacoma, Stephanie Binschus alleges Bloodworks Northwest treated her differently than other employees even though she made sure the company was fully aware of her transition."
