A few people here might remember this case, but thankfully it's been resolved now, and I'm quite happy for her. http://sfist.com/2011/08/16/transgender_woman_settles_dmv_haras.php

Amber Yust, the 23-year-old Software Engineer who received a threatening letter from a DMV employee after recording her sex change with the government agency, will recieve a $55,000 settlement the Chronicle reports today. That settlement includes $15,000 from Thomas Demartini, the DMV clerk who sent the letter calling homosexuality "an abomination that leads to hell".

Was he fired after? Or disciplined at all by the DMV?
