Delivery giants FedEx are being sued by a former warehouse worker who claims she was forced out by cruel colleagues who tormented her for being transgender. Toy Prendergast, 55, says she was subjected to insults including being called a 'f****** queer' at the firm's HQ in Stoke, Staffs. Legal papers allege the sick abuse from former work friends started when she began living as a woman. She also claims that she was forced to complete heavy tasks expected of male colleagues that were 'very difficult' for her as a transgender woman. Lawyers for Mrs Prendergast say she was left to work in a 'toxic and intimidating environment that violated her dignity'.
