Virgin describes its drive to destroy the male and female sex as part of “an ongoing drive to champion the individuality of its people and customers.”
Visage, who describes herself as the mother of a “trans non-binary child” championed the new policy.
‘As the mother of a non-binary child, and as an ally to the LGBTQ+ community, these efforts by Virgin Atlantic to further inclusivity for its people are extremely important and personal to me,” She said. “People feel empowered when they are wearing what best represents them, and this gender identity policy allows people to embrace who they are and bring their full selves to work.”
