Report: Army discriminated against transgender civilian worker

The Army discriminated against a former soldier working at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, who transitioned from male to female, according to a federal report released Thursday, by improperly barring her from the female restroom and allowing employees to refer to her repeatedly as 'him' or by her birth name. Tamara Lusardi, a software quality assurance specialist at the Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center, began the gender-identity transition in 2010, according to the report from the Office of Special Counsel and a news release from the Transgender Law Center, which represented Lusardi.
