DALLAS (AP) — 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 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. Airlines for America and the International Air Transport Association say the change will let airlines comply with requirements under U.S. and foreign laws that passenger information must match what is on the person’s form of ID used for travel. California, Colorado, Maine, Minnesota, Arkansas and Washington, D.C., also allow a nonbinary choice on licenses.
