An employment tribunal has suggested that calling a Trans Woman a derogatory term commonly used to insult men is discriminatory. The tribunal ruled that using such a term against someone who has transitioned would breach equality laws. The ruling came after a trans bus driver sued her company for gender reassignment discrimination, claiming she was called the derogatory term and that a driver drove too close to her because she is trans. The panel ultimately dismissed her case, stating that the insult had not occurred, but emphasized that the term is not gender-neutral.
