a UK bank, Halifax, received some complaints about 'virtue signalling' after instigating an option for staff members to include preferred pronouns after their name on their name badges.

A UK bank told customers to close their accounts after they complained about gender-pronoun badges for staff.
The British bank Halifax — a subsidiary of Lloyds Banking Group — said Tuesday that it was giving its employees the option to add pronouns to their name badges.
"We strive for inclusion, equality and quite simply, in doing what's right. If you disagree with our values, you're welcome to close your account," Halifax tweeted in response.
A Halifax spokesperson told Insider in an email: "We want to create a safe and accepting environment that opens the conversation around gender identity. We care about our customers' and colleagues' individual preferences so, for us, it's a very simple solution to accidental misgendering."
