Salt Lake City – A woman who said she suffered discrimination at work because she is transgender has been fired as a nursing assistant.
Ariana Losco, a man before a sex-change operation in 1994, was quoted in a recent Associated Press story about a Utah lawmaker’s effort to ban discrimination in the workplace based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
Losco said her transgender status led to verbal abuse and fewer work hours at Rocky Mountain Care, a nursing home in Tooele.
