"Are you in some kind of competition to see how many times you can reinforce gender binaries?" tweeted @InductiveStep, an account which links to Fugard's personal website. CNN's efforts to reach Fugard for further comment were unsuccessful over the holiday break. "'Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,' perfume strictly segregated again by 'ladies and gentlemen.' Ditch sir/madam too. An organisation as huge as yours must do better." EasyJet replied at the time that they were "committed" to focusing on diversity and inclusion, and would pass on the feedback. The move comes four months after the original complaint, and two months since Air Canada announced it would be dropping "ladies and gentlemen" in favor of gender-neutral greetings. A spokesperson from Stonewall, a UK-based LGBT campaign group, told CNN: "Addressing a group of people with gender-neutral language is a really simple and positive way to make sure everyone feels welcome and included."Dear @easyJet, are you in some kind of competition to see how many times you can reinforce gender binaries? “Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls”, perfume strictly segrated again by “ladies and gentlemen”. Ditch sir/madam too. An organisation as huge as yours must do better.
