"PHOENIX — A transgender prison guard is suing the state Department of Corrections saying he has been the victim of discrimination.

The lawsuit filed by attorney Stephen Montoya says the guard, who is not named, "has been subjected to severe and pervasive discriminatory harassment by his co-workers and supervisors based on his status as a transgender male." Montoya wants a federal judge to order the harassment to stop and for the state to provide him with unspecified monetary damages."

The guard's story has a ring of truth to it. If it is, I hope the court throws the book at the DoC.
