Imagine losing a job that paid more than $100,000 a year, losing your health insurance and being forced from your home, all just because people didn't like who you are.

Karen Grayson says all that happened to her after people discovered the person they always knew as a man was part of the transgender community and sometimes dressed as a woman.

Now Grayson, who is transitioning from a man into a woman, is hoping a new state law banning job discrimination against transgender individuals will prevent others from suffering a similar fate.
