"Morgan claims the shelter association violated the Michigan Civil Rights Act by discriminating against her based on her sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity."
"In November, Morgan became aware of a 'threatening' email that was circulating among staff, which she says made her fear for her safety."
"'They have their flock of bullies,' Morgan said of the homeless shelter staff. She added that management 'ignored' her concerns over the constant intimidation."
"'Management said they didn't know' about any harassment or discrimination prior to the threatening email that she received."
Devion Morgan, a transgender employee at the Washtenaw County Shelter Association, is suing for $25,000, claiming harassment and discrimination based on her gender identity. Morgan faced bullying, transphobic slurs, and threats from colleagues, leading to severe mental and physical health issues. Despite her complaints, management allegedly ignored the harassment and downplayed a threatening email that caused her to fear for her safety. Morgan has been unable to return to work due to the stress and has been placed on medical leave.
