- An Arizona mother put Delta Airlines on blast for refusing to let her buy a gender ‘X’ plane ticket for her non-binary child
- Dawn Henry, 52, complained to customer services – and was told that the airline recognizes male and female genders only
- Henry called out the airline in a series of tweets on Thursday, claiming she was attempting to buy a surprise plane ticket for her nonbinary 21-year-old
- That’s when she discovered Delta only allows for male and female gender options
- A spokesperson for the airline told NBC News that it is not an easy fix, and will require multiple departments and time to accomplish
- However, they did say the nonbinary option will be added sometime this year
- In October, the United States first ever gender ‘X’ passport was given to an intersex Navy veteran who had been campaigning for the option since 2015
