A transgender Royal Mail employee has been awarded compensation after being subjected to bullying, verbal abuse and physical assault. Sophie Cole was awarded £12,500 ($16,600) by an employment tribunal in Bury St Edmonds, Suffolk, with the judge deciding that Royal Mail had failed to act on the complaints. The judge said the outcome of the case was perhaps the first in the UK since the Supreme Court ruled in April that the 2010 Equality Act’s definition of seggs referred to “biological seggs” and of a woman referred to a “biological woman.” Cole, 46, from Cambridge, alleged she had been harassed by two colleagues regrading her seggs and lodged a complaint with bosses. She claimed that an initial complaint about assault was ignored and led to further bullying and harassment.
