Flight attendant praises Virgin Atlantic's new gender neutral uniform policy

A non-binary flight attendant who previously had to wear a ladies' uniform said they had never been happier at work after a new employer allowed them to wear whatever uniform they wanted. Jamie Forsstrom has been in the air service industry for the past four years and until now they had to wear a skirt, or dress, while on the job.

But now they work for Virgin Atlantic, who today announced a new gender identity policy that allows staff members to wear whichever uniform they feel is right for them. Jamie, originally from Finland but now living in London, said they'd never been happier - and that more employers should follow Virgin Atlantic's initiative.
