Yellowstone County discriminated against transgender employee, Human Rights Bureau finds

By ROB ROGERS 15 hrs ago

Yellowstone County may have discriminated against one of its deputy county attorneys when it denied her access to health care last year.

The Montana Human Rights Bureau said recently that Yellowstone County had unlawfully denied Eleanor Andersen Maloney, a transgender woman, "gender-affirming health care."

Maloney had begun exploring health care options after being diagnosed with gender dysphoria while employed by the county. She was a prosecutor working child abuse and neglect cases.
