But apparently it's Trans Women who are the threat, and not violently heterosexual cis men like these.
A recruitment consultant no less....

Swansea Students Take Flight with Virgin Atlantic’s Passport to Change Programme

It was a moment of pride and possibility on Wednesday 5th June, as the Year 8 cohort presented their airline concepts and received graduation certificates beneath the wings of Concorde Alpha Foxtrot — the last Concorde to fly.

The programme, which launched in September 2024, saw students participate in five immersive workshops guided by Virgin Atlantic professionals, including pilots, engineers, cabin crew, and sustainability experts. Held in partnership with STEM Learning, Passport to Change is designed to build confidence and spark curiosity among students from underrepresented backgrounds — with Dylan Thomas Community School chosen for its proximity to Virgin Atlantic’s customer hub in Wales and its commitment to inclusive education.

“This programme has opened up a world of possibilities,” said Head of School Paul Davies. “The transformation in confidence has been incredible.”

Throughout the year, students explored everything from flight operations and engineering to sustainability and commercial strategy — diving into the inner workings of a modern airline and imagining their own futures within it.

One highlight came during the graduation event at Aerospace Bristol, when Dave Geer, Senior Vice President of Operations at Virgin Atlantic, addressed the students directly with words of encouragement. The museum’s interactive simulators and iconic Concorde exhibits provided a fitting backdrop for a celebration rooted in innovation and ambition.

“No matter your background, everyone can take on the world if given the opportunity,” said Virgin Atlantic’s VP of Corporate Development, Holly Boyd-Boland. “It’s been a joy to witness the growth and creativity of Swansea students.”

The Passport to Change programme tackles the national challenge of low STEM uptake among disadvantaged communities — with a focus on schools serving students who face barriers including socio-economic challenges, English as an additional language, and special educational needs.

Coordinated by Virgin Atlantic’s Community team and supported by volunteers from across the airline, the programme will continue into the 2025–26 academic year, offering a new cohort of Welsh students the chance to dream big and build skills for the future.

“Seeing Swansea students present their concepts with such creativity and ambition was a powerful reminder of the talent we’re unlocking,” added Clare Hutchinson, Head of Skills & Partner Engagement at STEM Learning.

With new aspirations ignited and horizons expanded, the future looks bright for these young learners — and the skies are no longer the limit.
