Today Christine Ehlers will ride to work on her pink motorbike, dressed in a power suit and wearing her good luck charm.

Equipped with only a huge smile and a Marylin Monroe cigarette box in her pocket, the tall blonde is ready to face the employees who got her fired more than a year ago for having a sex-change operation.

Vindicated by a Labour Court ruling on Friday, an elated Ehlers said her return to work marked "the beginning of my life".
