Several major US airlines will allow travellers to buy plane tickets with an X gender marker by the end of 2024.

The move marks a significant change for the travel industry which has been criticised for delays in bringing in gender neutral identification. US Senator Ron Wyden, in a letter to Airlines for America, said member airlines committed to the change after he had engaged with the group.Airlines for America represents Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines and others.In January, an Arizona mother called out Delta Air Lines after she said she could not buy a plane ticket for her nonbinary child due to the airline's lack of gender options during the booking process.

Dawn Henry, 52, said she was trying to buy a surprise plane ticket for her adult child when she discovered Delta only provides male and female gender options, NBC reported.

Wow I need to be more careful in future when I choose a seat - someone might think I’m a pussie or a knob head

Why not

There is no such thing as gender neutral, it’s absolutely incorrect,stupid and immoral, there is always male and female, so what the hell do call gender neutral comme from?

Must admit I though all seats on planes were gender neutral

Please don't anyone tell the Daily Mail and its readers, we'll never hear the end of it!🤫

Ffs what a load of shite !! Give up with this world tbh

Na wa o…

Well now I’ll sleep better.

This is news we all want to read, oh how very important 🤔

No such thing as gender neutral 💩

Legitimising the terminally confused is madness

Oh come on is that really necessary?

ID shouldn't be required if requiring it is racist.

Woke stupidity - there are only TWO genders! Will they board me if I identify as a cat?

Rather see airlines have not sit next to a sloth option ?

Surely that’s classed as fraud…. either male or female, no inbetween. That’s not me hating that’s just pure science and human biology..!suppose they’ll want their own toilet aswell

Worlds gone to shit

If your pissed off at options for others that wont affect you. Re-evaluate your life.... If the box doesnt fit you dont tick it.

What a load of bollocks!!!

Not sure why is gender any case when flying. I guess butt size is what really matters.

I know this will anger tory bots right ✅️

Most normal folk will be fine having a choice. Be them male, female or neutral

Science tells there are only 2 genders,this is getting silly now.

I hear some people identify as birds. What if they find no bird DNA? 🤔

So a terrorist on a watch list can claim he's a woman and go undetected, right? Brilliant job woke airlines.

Will that stop them from cancelling flights? 🙄

All this is getting out of hand.

What exactly will this do? Is it going 2 change in any tangible way the experience that person will have on the flight? Seriously. Will they have special seats? Served a different in-flight meal? This is just virtue signalling: 'Look how inclusive we are! LOOK AT US EVERYONE!🏳️‍⚧️'

There’s only 2 genders

Dosent hide what you are are Male of female How stupid

One small step for a them and big leap for themkind 😅
