A 6ft 3in transsexual care worker is suing her former employer after claiming she was sacked for turning up for work in a dress.

Rachel Millington alleges she was forced to apologise for 'upsetting' staff when she changed her name from Andrew and started dressing as a woman.

The 24-year-old claims bosses at Housing And Support Solutions Limited terminated her contract without reason just three days after she announced her gender change decision.
