British airline Virgin Atlantic just announced they are getting rid of gendered uniforms for their in-flight crew, leaving it up to pilots and cabin crew to choose the uniforms that best suit them “no matter their gender, gender identity or gender expression.”
And like clockwork, conservatives are up in arms about it. None more so than InfoWars contributor and conspiracy theorist Paul Joseph Watson.
But his comments left many wondering if Watson has ever been on a plane.
Watson worried this was a slippery slope. Once you allow a flight attendant to choose to wear any of the airline's official uniforms to work, the next stop is gender-neutral airplane bathrooms.
Not sure what kind of airplanes he's been flying on all his life. But let's not tell him airplanes already have and always have had gender-neutral bathrooms because his outrage about it is too much fun to watch.
See a screengrab of Watson's tweet on the matter below.
He unsurprisingly deleted it after a thorough mocking.

In his tweet, Watson included a news story about the new direction at Virgin Atlantic, along with this scorching hot take:
"Pretty bigoted how they're still maintaining 'male' and 'female' toilets on the plane. I want to see the sh*t show of 'gender neutral bathrooms' unfold at 30,000 feet."
Surely among the most "who's gonna tell him?" tweets of all time, because unless "first class" and "coach" are now genders, all airplane bathrooms are single-use and hence inherently gender neutral.
Just like most of the bathrooms in private homes.
Virgin Atlantic announced their new policies with a splashy ad showing off brand-new uniforms designed by iconic British designer Vivienne Westwood and featuring gay icon and co-host of RuPaul's Drag Race Michelle Visage.
\u201cWe\u2019ve changed our uniform code to give our crew, pilot and ground teams the option to choose which of our iconic uniforms, designed by Vivienne Westwood, best represents them \ud83d\udc60 #SeeTheWorldDifferently\u201d— virginatlantic (@virginatlantic) 1664352043
Conservatives love calling liberals "cry babies" and "snowflakes," but throwing a tantrum over airline uniforms?
It's hard to think of something more snowflake-y than that.
And being loud and wrong about something as simple as airplane bathrooms while doing it? Well, you know Twitter wasn't about to let that slide.
People had a field day roasting Watson for his ignorance.
\u201c@adamndsmith People will see someone covering their legs with one fabric tube instead of two and become convinced society is crumbling\u201d— Adam Smith (@Adam Smith) 1664363355
\u201c@adamndsmith @alexvtunzelmann I don't think he's ever left his basement.\u201d— Adam Smith (@Adam Smith) 1664363355
\u201c@adamndsmith "excuse me, I have to go and use the ladies room." \n\n*clambers over three middle row passengers to get to the lady toilet side*\u201d— Adam Smith (@Adam Smith) 1664363355
\u201c@adamndsmith He's another King of Self-Owns.\u201d— Adam Smith (@Adam Smith) 1664363355
\u201c@adamndsmith He says he's against socialism, but he sure loves being publicly owned.\u201d— Adam Smith (@Adam Smith) 1664363355
\u201c@adamndsmith Either he has never been on a plane, never goes to the bathroom, or never goes to the bathrom while on a plane specifically. The fourth option is that his attention to details is lower than his need for outrage.\u201d— Adam Smith (@Adam Smith) 1664363355
\u201c@adamndsmith I find it quite frustrating that people LOVE to complain about the idea of gender neutral bathrooms, yet they forget that at least once in their life they\u2019ve use one (on a plane, on a train, at home). Seriously \ud83e\udd26\ud83c\udffb\u200d\u2642\ufe0f Get your minds out of the gutter and let people go to the bathroom\u201d— Adam Smith (@Adam Smith) 1664363355
\u201c@adamndsmith\u201d— Adam Smith (@Adam Smith) 1664363355
\u201c@adamndsmith For anyone thinking this was supposed to be sarcasm or something, he has since deleted the tweet out of embarrassment.\u201d— Adam Smith (@Adam Smith) 1664363355
We wish Watson the best of luck with his next harrowing gender-inclusive airplane bathroom debacle.
