Transgender awareness week apaz. Do they light up for every awareness day?
It's a bank - not even a high street bank wowing customers - a devolved govt dept
They are getting absolutely hammered on Twitter 😂
My favourite pair of tweets was “The Old Adult Human Female of Threadneedle Street”, followed by “you forgot cis”.
Are you. by the way, now to be known as "The Senior Cervix-Haver of Threadneedle Street" That has a fashionable ring of lunacy to it, don't you think?

GOOD!
It's transgender awareness week? Can we not have one day off? Please!
every day is transgender awareness week... never in a million years will you be allowed a day off
Well, if it's official awareness week then I suppose they have to, as a public institution.
I'm sure they observe all the awareness weeks, because they wouldn't want to risk favouritism.

Those dogs! I want my own jack russell pug cross that sits like on old man.
Yes, they'd better be doing something for the other Awareness's of this week (well, the U.K. ones at least).
'World Nursery Rhyme Week promotes the importance of nursery rhymes in early childhood development and education' ...^The wheels on the bus are falling off, falling off, falling off^...
Mad Cat Lady Awareness Week?
What did they do for Pride? Anyone know?
It's really great to see the replies though. People are waking up and catching on.
As a Bank surely they know above all else to follow the money 💰
Nice if the young bluehairs feel supported. However, I suspect this more about all the Pips Bunce types in the city.
So oppressed and marginalised.
Exactly what Absinthe said.
Is there a pips in the BoE by any chance?
Is transgender awareness week why Fisherpeople came out on BBC this morning?
It was on the Google page yesterday and unfortunately my first thought was argh, can't we have a week OFF.... that would be a much rarer thing.
There's such obliviousness to the fact that when things are rammed down people's throats and up their noses relentlessly all the time people shift from neutral where awareness raising may help to exasperatedly fed up with it all and switching off at the sight of it. There's no understanding of how people work at all.
Hilarious. Wonder how the anticapitalist anarchist section of transactivism are spinning this?
When I looked at the twitter last night the word 'elite' was cropping up a fair bit.
Awareness that trans activism has influential moneyed friends ...
The middle just looks like a lilac block of colour, and the ends are dark blue. I wouldn't have recognised that as the transgender flag at all. What shoddy virtue signalling.
Surely Stonewall could have slipped some of their £££ to their champions to buy some decent lights.
They should have interspersed the blue and pink with white lights. I hope they bear that in mind when they do a violet, white and green one .... oh bugger, they missed Equal Pay Day on Nov 14th, didn't they? Surely that's an event more relevant to a bank - the disparity in remuneration caused by structural sexism and discrimination against women.
Those lights are so stunning and brave.
Guess equal pay day wasn't important enough as it only directly negatively affects half of the population.
