一名前安全工作者对2025年的解职提出质疑,声称他因性别批评信仰拒绝使用变性囚犯的代名词而被解雇。 A former security worker is challenging his 2025 dismissal, claiming he was fired for refusing to use transgender prisoners' pronouns due to his gender-critical beliefs.

David Toshack是51岁的前士兵和见习监狱看守官,他于2025年1月在爱丁堡就业法庭被GEOAmey保安公司开除,指控他因持有性别批评观点而被解雇,特别是拒绝使用与变性囚犯身份相一致的代名词。 David Toshack, a 51-year-old former soldier and trainee prison custody officer, is challenging his January 2025 dismissal from security firm GEOAmey at an employment tribunal in Edinburgh, alleging he was fired for holding gender-critical views, particularly refusing to use pronouns aligned with transgender prisoners' identities. 他声称,由于他声称只使用基于性别的代名词,声称他的信仰没有敌意,并声称他因公开反对变性人包容政策而成为目标,因此在最后的训练周中他被解雇。 He claims he was dismissed during his final training week for stating he would only use sex-based pronouns, asserting his beliefs were not hostile and that he was targeted for speaking out against transgender inclusion policies. Toshack承认过去社交媒体文章使用攻击性语言, 但否认有意伤害。 Toshack acknowledged past social media posts used offensive language but denied intent to harm. 他将他女儿的过渡和两个朋友的过渡描述为“社会传染 ” 。 GEOAmey坚持要求员工使用被收养的性别代名词,并说由于他的信仰而不是违反政策,Toshack被认为不合适。 He described his daughter’s transition and those of two friends as part of a “social contagion.” GEOAmey maintains it requires staff to use adopted gender pronouns and says Toshack was deemed unsuitable due to his beliefs, not policy violations. 该公司说,它尊重法庭程序,在继续审理期间不会公开评论。 The company says it respects the tribunal process and will not comment publicly during the hearing, which continues.
