Maria Kelly alleged harassment related to sex, direct sex discrimination and indirect sex discrimination.
Ms Kelly took action after lodging a formal grievance with the company.
The tribunal was heard in Edinburgh in October, but all of her claims have now been dismissed by employment judge Michelle Sutherland.
Ms Kelly said she believes the outcome “fundamentally misunderstands both the law and my case”, as she announced plans to appeal.
Maya Forstater, chief executive of charity Sex Matters, said: “This judgment interprets the law as transactivists would wish it to be, and is incompatible with the Supreme Court ruling in For Women Scotland in several places.
“It is incredible that even after the highest court in the land has ruled that the law recognises men and women in terms of biological sex, there are lower courts still trying to see the world in terms of gender identity.”
