Gender X weight

Post by co-joe »

So there's actually a new gender for weight and balance purposes. See appendix A
No suggestion of what a gender x'er is though under 2.3 definitions, just that they automatically weigh 206 Lbs.

That’s intolerant. The gender benders will demand that they are counted as 172lbs. :rolleyes:

If your having a weight issue just ask everyone to self identify as female. You can then usually get all the passengers and bags on.

Gender X would be a person who has an X on their government issued ID. Most people have an M or an F, but X is also an option.

Using the same weight as as a male allows operators to use the same computer system without expensive updates. Since most people are fat anyway, it errs on the side of safety.

I feel that "Gender X" is identity appropriation. It's far too similar to "Generation X", "Gen X", etc, and unfairly associates/confuses with my age identity.

There are 23 other letters to choose from, plus infinite numbers, or just plain old something else. Gen X came first. Those incels better pick something else or I'll see them at a CHRT hearing.

That's what I thought when I first read it. I had no idea you could get that on your license.

I doubt very much that many incels identify as gender x
