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 did not tell her he/she was “non-binary.”
She decided that she was going to force her child to be whatever she decided at any given moment.
exactly. If there is a plane crash and everybody burns to death, there is no X when they have to use bones to ID the victims.
The all want to make a statement, to pee on a tree and leave their mark, go down in history.
Instead of confused on the BC it could say “Idiot Parent” and later this could be changed to “Crazy”.
“Look, lady. We have to be able to identify the body in case of a crash. A burnt corpse can’t tell us what gender it wants to be and we won’t know what name to put on the toe tag. Who is going to claim an unidentified, burnt up chunk of gender indeterminate meat?”
Who the hell is she to assume the kids gender?! She should be the one getting ripped here, not Delta.
Buy him a ticket on Grayhound.
Looking for a cash settlement I bet.
Nothing more nothing less imho.
Aka
Grievance grifter.
Sorry too insane to fly! Just tell her FAA forbids gender neutral tickets and hang up on her crazy woke ass.
Non-binary child = abused child.

Adult child. 21 years-old. Another mess created by a liberal white woman.
STFU, Bitch.
Complaints Dept. is in Hell.
There’s a line.
Suck it up.
Put him through the whole body scanner at the airport.
That should settle the question.
A 21 year old is not a child.
