Halifax customers quit in droves after bosses urge staff to display pronouns on name badges

HALIFAX customers quit in droves after bosses urged staff to display a preferred gender pronoun on name badges.

More than 10,000 protested on social media with hundreds vowing to boycott the bank.

Some cut up cash cards after a Halifax social media boss wrote: “If you disagree with our values, you’re welcome to close your account.”

One woman, 50, who did so said: “I don’t want to be having conversations about gender when I go into my bank.

“I’d rather they be focused on lowering interest rates.”

The row began when Halifax tweeted a snap of a uniform badge with the words “she/her/hers” below the name Gemma.
