The campaign for companies to cease requesting marital status titles from their customers and people - Let’s give women and non-binary people identity freedom!
As a campaign which supports equity for all humanity, we have decided to follow the good example of others, and cease posting on Twitter-X.
Do continue to support us via LinkedIn and our website.
Thank you all - and never stop going ‘title free’ 🧡

A Q4 of 2024 reminder that no business needs to know your title. So they shouldn’t ask!
Titles are not part of your legal identity.
There are negative assumptions about all the female titles.
Reject them wherever you can in solidarity 🙏🏼 🧡

We spoke on BBC Woman’s Hour about marital status titles.
Similar suggestions to Ellie Rees! 👏🏻
We have solutions for this too… and ‘Sir’ and ‘Miss’ in schools.
And ‘Bachelors’ and ‘Masters’ degrees.
It’s needless gendering of language.

Have you ever come across the phrase ‘Dear Sirs’ in emails or letters?🖊️
Woman’s Hour listener Ellie Rees told us she’s tired of hearing it and is waging a war against it.
She joined @claremcdonnell1 in the Woman’s Hour studio to explain why & her suggestions for alternatives.
@jodie_cook Active listening. What is their eye colour? - Repeat a word they’ve said. That’s how you really convey you’re hearing what a person is saying.
@fesshole My friends and I used to do this with a box of Fererro Rocher, for years, until the brother of one of the friends opened and ate them without realising how out of date they were/ how upset we’d all be.
Happy Pride Month 2024 to all!
Let’s use this time to encourage businesses to introduce policies, initiatives and processes which demonstrate inclusivity all the year through.
We’ve come so far… but there’s still so much to do… 💪🏼 🌈 🧡

Totally agree! Titles are not a part of a person’s legal identity. They represent inequity for women, and are extremely problematic in our beautifully gender diverse world. Please challenge this however you are able 🙏🏼 #TitleEquity#FemaleEmpowerment#NonBinaryRights
@title_free I contributed to a bbc news report this week... and was so disappointed that their protocol is to use your full name the first time they mention you... and then title and surname... I hate being called any title... and would prefer everyone to just use my first name...
