A former editor’s attempt to sue the Times for anti-trans discrimination, harassment, victimisation, and unfair dismissal from the company has been dismissed by a Scottish employment tribunal.

Katherine O’Donnell, who worked at the Scottish edition of the Times as a night editor, was made redundant last year after 14 years at the newspaper, during which she transitioned.

O’Donnell made a series of allegations against the Times, which included that she’d been bullied and had promotions and pay increases blocked by management. She also said there was a generally hostile atmosphere towards transgender people at the newspaper. All allegations were rejected by the Times.

This week, in a detailed 57-page judgment, a Scottish employment tribunal judge dismissed all of O’Donnell’s claims: "It is the judgement of the Employment Tribunal to dismiss the claimant's claims of direct discrimination, harassment and victimisation; and to dismiss the claimant's claim of unfair dismissal."

On Friday morning, O’Donnell tweeted that she was considering appealing the decision.
