Virgin Atlantic announced this week it updated the airline's gender identity policy, enabling employees to wear clothing that expresses how they identify or present themselves.

The airline also introduced optional pronoun badges for staffers and passengers, as well as ticketing system changes to allow passport holders with neutral gender markers to use their gender codes and titles.

In an announcement released Wednesday, the airline said its crew, pilots, and ground team may now choose which of its uniforms, designed by Vivienne Westwood, best represents them regardless of gender, gender identity, or gender expression.

Virgin Atlantic said its staff can now choose either its red or burgundy uniform, "depending on which best reflects themselves," the airline wrote in the statement.

The move comes on the heels of other changes made by the airline, including optional makeup for staff and allowing visible tattoos for crew members and front-line workers.

  1. I live in China and Chinese here are very poor.
    Last year my neighbor landed a “computer job” with the government. He later found out his job was to post *comments praising his employer* in domestic social media, paid 0.5 yuan per comment.
    He could post about 50 comments, which works out to be 25 yuan or $4 usd per day.
    This year, the government ran out of money and only offered 0.2 yuan per comment. So, his family earned about $1.5 usd per day.
    This is inline with the country’s “poverty line” of 700 million Chinese.
    Seriously I am jealous with Americans, Canadians or Japanese and I want to be one of them. “China Motherland” is just an evangelicalism.

  2. They have no soles they really don’t care how can enyone be alive and not love them self and the maker of all god and one day you will have to answer to hi and so many people will be lost that saddens me but life are not always peachy
