'Jibe' transsexual wins her case
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/hampshire/6187855.stm

QuoteA transsexual ferry crew member has been awarded compensation after a Southampton tribunal found she endured verbal and physical harassment at work.
Drusilla Marland, 48, from Bristol, suffered jibes from her engine room team on P&O ferry, Pride of Bilbao.
------------------------------------------------------
"Filthy lies were told about my behaviour by the crew, and repeated both at the tribunal and in the national papers, in the cynical expectation that they would be believed. They weren't.

"When I raised my grievance with P&O's management, I was simply looking for an acknowledgement that I had suffered harassment, and some form of recompense.

"They were determined to go down with guns blazing, and now they've gone down. I hope they have learned the value of openness."
"But who is that on the other side of you?"
T.S. Eliot
