Airlines for America, the industry trade group representing the country’s largest airlines, will add new gender options in order to accommodate non-binary passengers who have “X” on their IDs, The Daily Beast can confirm.

Airlines for America, or A4A, told The Daily Beast that it “recently approved a new international standard that will allow for ‘unspecified’ and ‘undisclosed’ as options in addition to ‘male’ or ‘female’”—a decision made in conjunction with members of the International Air Transport Association, or IATA, which represents carriers worldwide.

“The updated procedures are effective June 1, 2019,” A4A said.

Weird by the writer to specifically call out Delta.

They're just trying to save their ticket sales. We all know their days are numbered with AOC on the prowl.

It's additional bullshite required to keep up with the security theater rules that say the ticket must EXACTLY match the ID. So, the rest of us get to pay for the mentally ill who have been kowtowed and are allowed to put bullshite like "X" on their state issued IDs in lieu of M/F instead of being given the treatment they need while we're also paying for the illusion of security the TSA provides.

But hey, if we're lucky, we get a handy on our way through security.

You don’t think the attempted normalization of a third gender/non gender/whatever affects anything?

I have no problem withholding some form of information from the government. Hell, give me the option to select undisclosed.

Obviously, the bigger question is... if you have an "X", who does the pat-down?

Can one of these people with their 17th gender demand that a TSA agent of the same gender do the security pat down? How does that work?
