A former employee of the Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury on Monday filed a lawsuit in federal court, alleging that leaders in the state office forced her to resign the day after she informed them she was changing her name and preferred pronouns as part of a gender transition. The Nashville Post reports that the plaintiff worked as a field staff auditor for the comptroller for more than 14 years until January 2022. She alleges in the lawsuit that supervisors forced her to resign because of her gender transition.
