Equality is about ensuring that every individual has an equal opportunity to make the most of their lives and talents… Something so small as a job title has the power to open the door for the generations to come.

How do we stop gender stereotyping?

The reactions had us in tears.

Doctor, Author, Pilot, Scientist, Police Officer, Cabin Crew, Dentist, Recruiter, Joiner, Chef, Journalist, Surgeon, Teacher, Engineer…Firefighter.

It’s about removing barriers for future generations… it’s about opportunity… it’s basic equality

They’ve been “firefighters” for ages - the developing world has used that term ever since women were able to join
There’s 1000s in U.K. Fire Services
I’m sure he wouldn’t wish to exclude them
Same for Police “officers” & every uniformed service
Their job is worth more respect

[Zoë Billingham 💙🇺🇦🌈 @ZoeBillingham]

It’s firefighter and has been for decades. Just as it’s police officer. It’s not ‘woke’ - it’s a fact.

And language matters.

So sorry that it's "woke" of me to not like being referred to as a "fireman". How insulting. I joined the role 25 years ago. It was advertised as "firefighter". That's what I am. As are my colleagues who are men. Bring yourself into the 21st century & stop being so inflammatory
