Kevin Lister has taken the college to an employment tribunal, claiming unfair dismissal and discrimination
A gender-critical teacher was sacked for refusing to use a student’s preferred pronouns, an employment tribunal has heard. Kevin Lister was dismissed for gross misconduct in September 2022 by New College Swindon following complaints by two students.
“I took issue with the demand on me to socially transition children who are unable to make an informed decision,” he told the hearing at the Bristol Civil Justice Centre. That is the intention of the policy – to encourage children to socially transition and to push them towards transgender lobby groups.
Referring to the college policy, Mr Lister said: “It doesn’t require gender-critical people to change their beliefs. “What the policy does require is to be accepting in a way that is contrary to our beliefs.” The hearing was told that during lessons Mr Lister, instead of using Student A’s preferred pronouns, would point at them. “I gestured. Some people would say I was pointing. I didn’t want to use her dead name but I didn’t want to assist with her social transitioning,” Mr Lister said.
Asked to explain why he had written Student A’s “dead name” on the class whiteboard, Mr Lister replied: “I put her name on the board in the name she would be entered into the competition. “I don’t accept it was a dead name. I make the point that the name I wrote on the board is the name she would be using to enter her into the girls’ maths competition.”
