Some customers have slammed Halifax and threatened to close their accounts after the bank announced it was adding pronouns to staff name badges
Halifax said the measure was brought in to prevent "accidental misgendering" and said it was "optional".Another asked: "Isn't "Gemma" so obviously a she/ her that it doesn't need stating?"
Despite some criticism, many people supported the bank's decision to add pronouns to staff badges and praised its "inclusivity".Indeed, politeness and courtesy matter. Casually misgendering someone is not polite or courteous. So pronouns *do* matter.One person hit out at those criticising the bank's post, saying: "Absolutely incredible how irrational and offended transphobic people get over absolutely nothing.
