A TRANSSEXUAL is suing her former employers, claiming she lost her job after she came to work dressed as a woman.

Rachel Millington, 24, has been living as a woman for a year ahead of undergoing hormone therapy next year and eventually gender reassignment surgery.

But Rachel, who was formerly called Andrew, is taking her former employer to tribunal next month.
