Transgender paratrooper smeared by UK press with non-existent dismissal compensation

"There is no £250,000 agreement, I have never sought £250,000 and neither would I accept it.... I have been trying to negotiate my resignation with the Army so I can just get on with my life.... I thought I was making some progress and was feeling positive about the talks.... Now I feel crushed by this. Someone came up to me in the street yesterday and called me a money grabber, which is just not fair."

Ex-paratrooper Jan Hamilton, upset with the press for reporting falsely that she had received an out-of-court settlment. Apparently she did sue the UK Army for unfair dismissal and sexual discrimination for allegedly refusing to wear a male uniform for a medical check-up. (Blackpool Gazette)
