Jessica Bussert, formerly Josh, is seeking £500,000 compensation from Hitachi Data Systems claiming she was demoted after surgery to "feminise" her face and breasts, since moving from the US state of Indiana to work in here.
The 41 year old, who is yet to have completed the surgery, was a principal consultant for the company earning £88,000 a year, but after jokingly telling the manager, Steve Larkin, she was considering a sex change, Mr Larkin said: "Don't do that to me, Josh. I had to work in an office with someone who did that once and it was weird."

Just an update on this case.
