An Arizona woman has accused Delta Air Lines of discrimination after she was unable to buy a gender “X” ticket for her nonbinary child due to the company’s booking tools.
Dawn Henry, 52, slammed Delta in a lengthy series of tweets last week, saying she wanted to buy her 21-year-old a surprise ticket for Christmas when she discovered the carrier only provides male or female options.
But her child identifies as neither exclusively male nor female — and has an “X” marker on their birth certificate and Washington state driver’s license.
Delta “is discriminating against #nonbinary individuals and not allowing them to fly despite legal ID issued by states that allow X on birth certificates and state-issued IDs,” Henry said in the first of 19 tweets Thursday.
“This thread is the ongoing saga of me trying to purchase a ticket for my non-binary adult child,” she added.(snip)
She said the Delta rep she called to make the reservation “was really trying to help, but she was unable to change the gender designation to X. I explained what TSA had told me about the #nonbinary designation,” she wrote.
“But after over 30 minutes on hold, she told me ‘they’ said it doesn’t matter what the ID says, use what’s on the birth certificate. I explained that the Birth Certificate also says X. I was put on hold again,” Henry continued.

“I will not stop pursuing this until every U.S. Airline with a discriminatory reservation system has made the long-overdue changes,” she added.

Her child is not non-binary. Sex on the ticket is so that the owner of the ticket can be matched with the ticket. For that there is no “non “binary” or in nature either.
Not offering an option is not automatically discrimination.
Countersue for defamation and damages.
Let dykes adopt children they said. They will be just like other parents, they promised.
Perhaps the check box for Sex could be replaced with Genitalia. Then I suppose there would have to be some show-and-tell.
A CURSE on these idiot parents treating their children like plastic Mattel Playdolls.
Do you have one X, or two?
I explained that the Birth Certificate also says X

Seems like a legacy software problem.
(But her child identifies as neither exclusively male nor female)
Oh, so...........
That’s an X child, Madame.
No, it can’t use the ‘Mens’ room.
No, it can’t use the ‘Ladies’ room.
Yes, it can use the family restroom.
Delta should compromise and indicate the 21 year old is “Handicapped”. Then discreetly add their name to the federal No-Flight List.
Technically, shouldn’t it be “XX” or “XY”?
And what marker did God give their.
Out you popped, out of your mummie's tumpkin and everyone shouted: “It’s a boy, it’s a boy!”.
And somebody said “but he hasn’t got a winkle!”. And then I said “A boy without a winkle? God be praised, it is a miracle. A boy without a winkle!”
And then Sir Thomas More pointed out that a boy without a winkle is a girl. And everyone was really disappointed.
Airlines need to know so they can identify the remains if the worst should happen, the DNA will tell the truth even if the mother won’t.
LMAO!
