American Airlines has quietly rolled out non-binary gender options during the booking process, where people can designate "U" or "X" for their gender.
American Airlines has quietly rolled out non-binary gender options for customers during the booking process. Customers looking to make such a designation will have to call the airline, though the option will be rolled out on its website soon. "We recently completed a system update to offer non-binary gender selections," American spokesman Ross Feinstein confirmed to USA TODAY.
"By providing non-binary gender selection for ticketing and the gender-inclusive honorific 'Mx' in user profiles, United Airlines is taking an important step forward for non-binary inclusion," Beck Bailey, acting director of the Workplace Equality Program at the Human Rights Campaign, said in a statement at the time.
The suggested standard is to create an option for"unspecified" or"undisclosed" for passengers booking tickets. That option would be in addition to the options for"male" or"female."The nation's five biggest U.S. airlines – American, Delta, United, Southwest and Alaska airlines – all previously told USA TODAY that they plan to implement the trade groups’ suggestion.
Kate Modolo, spokesperson for Delta, also said they are working on the capability, reflecting what the airline told USA TODAY in March.
