A FRIGHTENED gender change civil servant - who believed publicity would lead to her being physically attacked - has won a landmark case to protect her identity.

The male to female transsexual has won the right to have her name removed from the Office of Industrial Tribunals' register.

The Court of Appeal in Belfast has ruled that the Industrial Tribunals was WRONG to say it did not have the power to delete her name from its register.
