A Transsexual truck driver who was forced out of her job when she started dressing as a woman has been awarded more than £20,000.

But Vikki-Marie Gaynor, from Wirral, told the Daily Post last night she was intending to appeal against the ruling.

Miss Gaynor, a former soldier Mike Gaynor, had been working as a trucker for Excel Europe, an arm of delivery giant DHL.

She got the job via recruitment firm Blue Arrow in October, 2006.
