A federal investigation found Army officials discriminated against a transgender employee who underwent a sex change while working at an Alabama installation.
The Office of Special Counsel says Tamara Lusardi of Huntsville suffered gender identity discrimination as she transitioned from male to female in 2010.
Lusardi was working as a civilian software quality assurance specialist at the Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center at the time.
The review says the Army restricted Lusardi from using the women's restroom. It also concludes a supervisor referred to Lusardi as "sir" or "he" after she transitioned.
The Office of Special Counsel says the Army has agreed to train workers to prevent future discrimination.
A statement from the Transgender Law Center quotes Lusardi as saying she's thankful justice was served.
