Scots prison officer sacked for ‘refusing to say trans male cons are women'
He is now taking action against his former employer TRANS ROW Scots prison officer sacked for 'refusing to say trans male cons are women' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SACKED prison officer lost his job after saying he would refuse to refer to trans male lags as women. David Toshack, 50, was set to take up a job as a prison custody officer (PCO) at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court for firm GeoAmey. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 GeoAmey sacked the prison custody officer before he had even started his job Credit: Alamy 3 David Toshack said he refused to call trans prisoners women if they were born male Credit: Getty But his career with the firm came to a crashing halt before he had even started. The army veteran was at a training course on January 7 where the issue of transgender prisoners was discussed. When he said he wouldn't be comfortable calling a trans male con by their preferred pronouns and his view a man cannot be a woman at a safeguarding workshop he was told to leave the room. He was then sacked the same day despite positive feedback from his instructors. He was told his views were against the law and GeoAmey policy. But church-going David was shocked by the decision after believing a job as a PCO would be a great role for him after his time in the Army. He told the Daily Mail: "I'm just a normal, working class person who's never been in trouble with the law before, not got a criminal record, lived a good life. "I've been prepared to go and fight and die for my country, and then I have come back here and been told that there's certain things you can't think or can't say." Not taking the decision without a fight, David is now taking the firm to an employment tribunal. He claims he was the subjected to unlawful discrimination and harassment because of his beliefs. Scots prison offers 'facing punishment' if they call trans rapists male The case is set to go before a tribunal later this year. David is being represented by Margaret Gribbon, the same solicitor representing nurse Sandie Peggie who was suspended by NHS Fife after challenging a trans doctor about using a women's changing room. He added: "There must be loads of folk like me who don't have any of that, who are on their own, so I want to show folk you can stand up against this stuff." Earlier this year a landmark supreme court ruling sided with feminist campaigners and said a woman means a biological female. It followed a three year legal battle between campaign group For Women Scotland and the Scottish Government over controversial self-ID laws. David's case could bring forward more claims from jail staff across the country if it is successful. In April we told how Scottish prison officers are still facing disciplinary action if they call male transgender inmates "he" or "him. A spokesperson for GeoAmey said: "As this matter will be subject to tribunal proceedings, it would not be appropriate to comment at this time."

Abolition of not proven verdict an 'essential' reform
The legislation makes major changes to the law to try to improve the experience of victims and witnesses in the justice system and also makes changes to the criminal justice system to try to improve the fairness, clarity and transparency of the framework within which decisions in criminal cases are made. Among its provisions are the abolition of the not proven verdict - which is unique to Scotland - and the establishment of a dedicated court specialising in sexual offences. READ MORE: Writing in The Herald today, Ms Wallace described the not proven verdict as a 'relic of Scottish criminal law that has confused juries and denied justice to victims'. She added: "Victim Support Scotland welcomes this potential step forward and urges our political leaders to see the removal of this verdict not just as a legislative change, but as a necessity for modern justice. "Scotland is the only country in the world to have the 'not proven' verdict alongside 'guilty' and 'not guilty'. But unlike its counterparts, 'not proven' has no official legal definition – a bizarre fact that I've found most people are shocked to discover.... To the average person, the lack of definition of 'not proven' creates a feeling of uncertainty about how exactly it should be used in a trial. "Jurors are offered no specific guidance on how to return this verdict, only being told that it provides the same acquittal as not guilty - leaving it wide open for misinterpretation." She went on to say that when juries return a not proven verdict, the accused is acquitted though a "shadow of suspicion' can still hang over them while victims are often left with the feeling that their experience has been denied. "It offers no closure, clarity, or comfort. Instead, it leaves open-ended questions and deep emotional scars. For the accused, we are told, it can cast a shadow of suspicion over them for the rest of their lives that they feel unable to address," she said. Ms Wallace also pointed out that cases of rape and attempted rape resulted in a not proven' acquittal than in trials for other types of crime. She stated: "In 2019/20, 44% of acquittals were not proven, compared to 20% across all crimes and offences. One of the most prominent cases involved Miss M, who won a landmark civil case against Andrew Coxen for rape after he was found not proven in a criminal trial. "Not proven has also been contentious in murder trials. After the killing of Amanda Duffy in 1992, Francis Auld, the man accused of murdering her, was given a not proven verdict. "The Duffy family later won a civil case against him, with a judge awarding them £50,000 in damages after finding him responsible for her death. However, the Duffy family never received any of this award. The Duffy family, like Miss M, have since been passionate campaigners for change in this area." She added: "Abolishing the not proven verdict is not a radical departure for Scotland's legal system – it is an essential reform that brings us in line with international standards and modern principles of justice. "It will improve the clarity of decision-making for juries, ensuring that verdicts are understood by all. It will also help victims better comprehend the outcome of trials and provide a sense of closure. "Crucially, it might help to increase the paltry levels of public trust in Scotland's legal system. The latest Scottish Crime and Justice Survey revealed that only 36% of people are confident that the criminal justice system gives sentences which fit the crime. This is down significantly, from 41% in 2021/22." MSPs on the criminal justice committee backed the abolition of the not proven verdict. They said in a report in March: 'On the balance of evidence, having heard arguments for and against, we believe the not-proven verdict has had its day and should be abolished.' They added that they did not think it was satisfactory to have a verdict in a criminal trial that had no accepted legal definition. The committee rejected plans to alter the size of juries or the required majority. At present 15 people sit on a Scottish jury and a simple majority of eight is required for a conviction. The Victims, Witnesses, and Justice Reform (Scotland) Bill proposes a smaller jury of 12 and a two-thirds majority for a guilty verdict, but the MSPs concluded that there was no compelling evidence to support the change. The Scottish Government had originally included in the bill a plan to run a pilot scheme to hear rape trials in front of a single judge or a panel of judges, rather than by a jury. But the proposal was dropped after opposition from lawyers.
