“Pronouns Matter”: UK Bank’s Attempt To Virtue-Signal Backfires
Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News,
A subsidiary of a £886 billion net worth bank attempted to virtue signal by proclaiming “pronouns matter” alongside an image of an employee wearing a “she/her/hers” tag, but the stunt massively backfired on Twitter.
“Pronouns matter. #ItsAPeopleThing,” tweeted Halifax Bank, which is owned by Lloyds Banking Group, one of the UK’s largest financial services organizations.

The topic immediately began trending on Twitter, with the vast majority of responses not displaying much sympathy towards the bank.
“What if a Halifax employee doesn’t want to put pronouns on their lapel, perhaps because they reject the cult of gender ideology?” asked Simon Edge. “Will they be disadvantaged in any way? Barred from promotion? Fired?”

His response garnered almost 4,000 likes.
Edge linked to a video of a man who said he made the “biggest mistake of his life” by having his genitals removed to become transgender.
“How are you so certain that removing your genitals … will solve your issues, those issues are going to wait for you when you wake up from surgery.”

Despite such woke garbage continually proving to be incredibly unpopular with the general public, banks and transnational corporations just won’t stop doing it.
