DALLAS — Major U.S. airlines say they will soon change their ticketing process to give passengers the option of identifying themselves as other than male or female. The gender option on airline sites will soon include choices such “undisclosed” or “unspecified.” There could also be the optional title of “Mx.”ADVERTISEMENTThe airlines say they are making the change to be more inclusive in dealing with a diverse population of travelers. The Transportation Security Administration says passengers should use the name, gender and birth date on their government-issued ID. Bailey said he did not know of people with nonbinary identification being kept off planes or trains, but that fear of being stopped added to their stress. California, Colorado, Maine, Minnesota, Arkansas and Washington, D.C., also allow a nonbinary choice on licenses.
