Why this petition matters

Started by Tom Pashby

This petition is asking Argos to add the gender-neutral title Mx to their online order forms. 

Non-binary people and others have been asking Argos to add Mx to their forms for years. Argos has responded by saying that they will look into it, or simply ignoring requests. 

Argos incorporated the Pride colours into their corporate logo in 2022, but still refuse to make their forms accessible to non-binary people and others who want to use the gender-neutral title Mx. 

Please sign this petition to request that Argos make this small but important change!

This petition is run by the Include Mx campaign, which was founded by LGBTQIA+ campaigner and non-binary/agender person Tom Pashby

Tom explained the situation with Argos and Mx in an article for PinkNews on 1 July 2022, where they said: 

"I ordered some household goods from Argos during the first few months of the pandemic and had to misgender myself to get the deliveries. I decided it was time to put my campaigns and communications skills to use, mainly with the selfish aim of being able to use forms without having to think about my own gender, but also to make life easier for fellow non-binary and agender people, and anyone else who doesn’t want to reveal their gender identity to corporations who probably only want that information for targeted marketing purposes.

"When I saw Argos had changed their logo in June this year to incorporate the Pride flag, including the trans pride colours, I was hopeful that this meant they had chosen to include Mx after years of requests from non-binary people, including public calls from my campaign Include Mx. Regrettably, this was not the case. Their online order forms still require you to choose a title from Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms and Dr. If you’re a man, imagine not seeing a masculine title (Mr) and having to select from Mrs, Miss, Ms or Dr? It’s annoying and you would probably select one which you don’t want to use just to get the order confirmed."
