WASHINGTON -- A federal judge has awarded a former Army Special Forces commander nearly $500,000 because she was rejected from a job at the Library of Congress while transitioning from a man to a woman.

Diane Schroer of Alexandria, Va., applied for the terrorism analyst job while she was still a man named David Schroer. He was offered the job, but the offer was pulled after he told a library official that he was having surgery to change his gender.

Hooray Diane!! It's about time!!

Did anyone happen to notice how deeply this story was embeded in Fox's web site in order to find it? How surprising is that?
