DALLAS American Airlines is adding "U" and "X" options for gender when passengers buy tickets, joining a growing number of entities recognizing choices beyond simply male and female.

American Airlines passengers can now change to "U" or "X" designations by talking to a customer service agent on the phone. American is also in the process of making the change to its website, too. "U" stands for unspecified or undisclosed and X has become a standard marker for those that don't identify as male or female.

Does this mean TSA has to fill a quota for frisking U and X passengers?

So I can ask for a seat next to a U or X “person” when making my reservation?

[Scrambler Bob]

How will this jive up with “Real ID”?

[butlerweave]

Will they announce the seat number and if it’s a U or X before the flight ,LOL

[Kriggerel]

Good. I want to try and book my next AA flight as a bobcat, rather than a human being. :P

If there ever will be a gay NASCAR driver, would it be considered discrimination if they didn’t let him sit on the pole?

[stars & stripes forever]

Will this classification allow seating for dogs who identify as human?

[SkyDancer]

Who really cares? An occupied seat is an occupied seat whether a horse as a service animal (American AL) or whatever. Revenue is based on occupied seat per mile.

Can I ask for a seat NOT next to a U or X “person”?

[ConservativeStatement]

What happens if an F claims she was harassed on a flight by a U or X thinking he was an M. Does the U or X claim discrimination?

Idiocy on parade, all for the sake of going along with the crowd. We are here:“If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.

Bingo!!!!

I’m trying to figure out when crime committed by one of these multiple gender descriptions, how would they do a BOLO (be on the look out) for what? a gender x, a U, etc. Can’t say male, female looks like that is what is coming to a police station near you.

[Engedi]

Lawsuits to come for sure.

Just sayin’

Keep pandering fools. Until there is nothing left but FREAKQUENT Flyer Miles and stewardesses with suspicious bulges in their skorts and pancake makeup to cover their five o'clock shadows. ✈

Does this mean TSA has to fill a quota for frisking U and X passengers?

,,, maybe it means we can send freight in passenger seats now.

Was wondering the same. At a minimum it needs to be renamed. Because in some cases it won’t be Real.
