She was the 23-year-old trans woman who was sent a letter by a California DMV employee telling her she "made a very evil decision" to transition, and condemned her to hell.
Before sending that letter to Amber's home, the now ex-employee of the DMV -- Thomas Demartini -- apparently used agency records to find her address. DMV employees aren't supposed to use agency records to find customer addresses for personal use; DMV employees aren't supposed to use agency data to contact customers for unofficial purposes.
Demartini was allowed to resign from the DMV last December.
Well now, both the California DMV and Thomas Demartini are being sued by Amber Yust.
