The biggest sex discrimination claim to be brought in Britain by a transsexual will open today at an employment tribunal in Reading. Jessica Bussert, 42, is claiming £500,000 compensation from US-based Hitachi Data Systems, which she alleges demoted her after she began the change from Joshua to Jessica and victimised her after she filed a case with the tribunal.
