A number of major airlines including Delta and American have announced that they are adding new gender options to accommodate passengers who identify as non-binary so they no longer have to choose between either male or female.
Where will it end ?
Business becomes the new American monarchies. The new feudal lords will have their say. Business will hold private auctions and buy the politicians. They are nearly all for sale at the right price. That's a known, known.
If you want to travel by the means provided you will meet our conditions and sign away your constitutional rights or we won't serve you.
Dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy.
I'm a business and if you want to ask me questions you need to sign away your rights to free speech.
I'll then provide you with the questions you're allowed to ask.
Understand your rights now ?
I only accept yes as an answer. I will however repeat the question until I get the answer I want. That's my right and my business model. That's how I fly and if you want to fly on this airline you will comply.
Naturally you can fly with another airline until they adopt my business model or start your own airline.
Check with the feather stand on the corner for prices and maybe the SBA will give you a loan to start that new business.

Ah, every time you make a reservation on-line. Check the box male/female and the website won't go forward until you do. What's the big freaking deal, check a damn box. It's not like they can see you and are checking this info when you make a reservation, it's not printed on your ticket. Wonder how many people have been stopped at the gate by TSA because their box was checked in error. Get a grip, you're making a mountain out of a mole hill........
If people are unhappy about being asked, they should complain loud and hard and even vote with their feet. Although airlines are hardly a capitalist enterprise, its how they should be regulated.
Every carrier requires disclosure of gender. This went into effect after 9/11, along with the need for adults to present a photo ID.
Several countries provide for a third gender on state - issued documents. Not all would be considered so- called liberal countries.
