Vandy Beth Glenn has her job back -- with salary, benefits and seniority -- but she won't be returning to work.

An agreement reached Friday mandates the reinstatement of the transgender legislative editor for the Georgia General Assembly, fired nearly thee years ago after disclosing she was transitioning from a man. But Glenn's employer preferred she earn her paycheck  from home, arguing that her presence in the office would be disruptive. Though she won't be working, Glenn will be fully compensated.

I tell you what, if that happened in the UK I reckon the employer would be straight back in court and facing a charge of contempt of court, which with any luck would land Mr Clever Clogs employer in danger of going down!

I certainly wouldn't put up with that insult, not for one second.    *@£%!

Vandy Beth Glenn will begin receiving state pay and benefits on Monday, but she will not return to work at the Georgia General Assembly as part of an agreement reached today in her case.

Glenn, who was fired in 2007 from her job as a legislative editor after disclosing her plan to transition from male to female, won her federal lawsuit against the state legislature when a judge ruled July 2 she was illegally discriminated against when Legislative Counsel Sewell Brumby fired her for being transgender.

Judge Richard Story, who ruled in favor of Glenn in the lawsuit
, also ruled on Tuesday that Glenn must be reinstated to her job on Aug. 9. The defendants asked for a stay on her returning to work and today held a teleconference with the judge to discuss options.
