A PRE-OP transsexual claims her career has been "destroyed" since she announced she wanted to become a woman.

Sophie Morris, 40, alleges she was sacked from her £23,000 job at the JTEKT factory in Resolven after she changed her gender from male to female.

The former production planner, of Glynneath, has suffered from gender dysphoria, a condition recognised by psychologists as a person's discontent with the body they were born in, throughout her life. She had been known as Gareth until she started taking prescription hormones in December 2006. But a year later, she claims she was given the boot by factory bosses, who told her there had been an "irretrievable breakdown" in their working relationship.
