A sex - change taxi driver left her job because bosses carried on calling her dale instead of her new name Lucy.
Crimson haired Lucy Evans 38, who fathered a child as a man, said she was also bullied and made to feel a freak by other cabbies. And she heard them refer to her as a tart.
She told an industrial tribunal at Exeter that her name was also changed on time sheets.
Lucy of Crediton Devon, is claiming sex discrimination against peak taxis, of sidmouth.
Owner Rob Shapland - Hill said he had received 15 complaints about her gaudy make up and clothes.
Amother of 2 teenage girls had also complained to him about miss Evans describing her operation to them in detail.
the tribunal reserved its decision

Hi,
I just signed up for this forum after googling my case. It's funny because a friend of mine actually read the NOTW article for me but until now I have not actually seen the words (I also believe that a rather unflattering picture of me appeared on the original article as well - I look angry in it because I just spotted the photographer lurking behind a skip outside the tribunal )
So, here's the facts (bearing in mind that a judgement has still to be made):
I am 37, not 38.
Edited...........................................................................................................
......................................... I never received anything but the best wishes of the passengers of Sidmouth. They were lovely.

Wow Lucy, I am not a tranny or in need of a sex change and am pretty right wing, but I applaud you for wanting to lead you life as you want without harassment
I will be interested to see what the GMB boy's take is on this ???

It's funny coz I felt more like I was swimming against the tide in my previous form. Now I have a lot more inner peace and a better wardrobe.
These days I answer to: sweets, babe, love, chick, hen, girl, darling, honey, lovey etc.
I no longer like: mate, pal, geezer, chum, nipper or shag.

Denise and I certainly exchanged a few massages, but I don't think I upset her.
Well Denise???
