Alaska Airlines is facing pressure from the American Civil Liberties Union to change its flight attendant uniform policy that "demeans" nonbinary employees.
Justin Wetherell, a nonbinary flight attendant with Alaska Airlines, first requested accommodation from the company in January but was denied. The uniforms and grooming codes do not include an option for nonbinary attendants, those who do not conform to a male or female gender identity, according to a letter the ACLU sent Friday urging the company to alter its policies....
...Although the uniform policy allows transgender men and transgender women to adhere to the uniform standards that match their gender identity, Alaska Airlines requires all employees to conform to either the 'male' or 'female' category,” the ACLU said....

There are no gender specifics unless the non-gender determine otherwise...
Can’t wait for the inevitable purge of this BS.

Maybe they should get rid of that Neptune-looking freak painted on the tail, eh?

I assume the choices are basically “pants and shirt” or “skirt and shirt.” I don’t want to know what other kind of stuff a “nonbinary” person would choose to wear.

I'm surprised they haven't gone after the airline for its Eskimo logo on the tail.
How is that any different than the Redskins logo?

I wish Air China would start running domestic flights in the U.S.
Air China only hires hot, under 30 stewardesses. They’d have the binary male, business traveler market locked up in a heartbeat . The only people riding United, American, VA or Southwest would be the old, infirm, sick and little kids

Everyone must bend over backwards for these special snowflakes who think they’re too unique to be male or female.
To: OttawaFreeper
Indeed!!!
What exactly do these people want to wear?
And being a flight attendant...as much as these people would like it to be otherwise...is not a fashion show.
It is an important job that protects people in the event of a crash or other incident.
So the clothes need to be reasonable and allow freedom of movement.
So some S&M getup with leather and chains won’t cut it.

Alaska Airlines is facing pressure from the American Civil Liberties Union to change its flight attendant uniform policy that "demeans" nonbinary employees.The Communist American Civil Liberties Union has no business telling anyone what they can or cannot wear!
Who do these people think they are? Communists? Democrats?

You want equality?
OK here’s how equality works. You wear the same uniform as everyone else or you get a job somewhere else.
They all have the exact same options.
Now you’re equal.
