Mother cradling distressed 16-month old son claims United Airlines staff booted her off flight from San Francisco to Austin for using their wrong pronouns

A mom has claimed she was booted off a United Airlines flight with her distressed 16-month-old son over using the wrong pronoun for a flight attendant.

Jenna Longoria was expecting to fly to Austin from San Francisco on Wednesday with her mom and son when United stopped them from traveling.

She alleges she was denied boarding after an 'accidental' mix-up when addressing a United staff member, who she says refused to accept her apology.

The frantic mom also alleged the flight had taken off with her luggage containing her and her mom's medication still on board, leaving at risk of becoming 'very sick' while stranded.

'They're saying it's a hate crime that I did and that I might not even be able to ever fly United again,' she fumed in a clip posted on Instagram.

In the clip, she says while boarding the flight she mis-gendered an employee.

'I will tell you what happened now, I got one of the flight attendant's pronouns wrong and the other flight attendant didn't like it,' Longoria explained.

'I said, "I'm really sorry, I'm not very versed in pronouns," I was holding my son, he was having a temper tantrum, I had the car seat on my back.

'I wasn't really focusing on anything except getting my son's car seat on the plane and getting him comfortable.'

..... Under the current rules .... My pronouns, at that moment, would have suddenly become .... "Concerned Parent" ... and judging and calling me otherwise would have become an assault upon my personally chosen pronouns and responsibilities. A legal defense would have ensued.

Their entire schtick is a lie.

People get canceled for blackface. But these ludicrous parodies of femininity are just fine with the communists. Guess the commies really are a bunch of racist perverts.

I wear a head covering ATM because of sickness and hair loss. We are going to Japan later this year.

Husband got us Universal Passes to maybe get through the scrutiny and embarrassment.

Bet that won’t happen.

Meanwhile....the border is wide open.

..... Dang ..... I forgot my first sentence for my previous comment.

....... Post should have read:

..... Well if the shoe was on the other foot and libs were upset at me for helping my child ....

.... Under the current rules .... My pronouns, at that moment, would have suddenly become .... "Concerned Parent" ... and judging and calling me otherwise would have become an assault upon my personally chosen pronouns and responsibilities. A legal defense would have ensued.

When in college I worked as a waiter. One time these 2 bikers came in. One looked like a middle aged biker chick; the other like Larry the cable guy. The waitress that got them was cartoon Melody from Josie and the Pussycats in real life. Ditzy but sweet and innocent/nieve as they come. Another waitress asked me to take the table because it was angry that “Melody” called “Larry” sir. Unaparently “Larry” was also a biker chick. Before I could get the order,even knowing the situation, I ended up calling “Larry” sir aswell. When the eyes see “Larry thecableguy,
the brain in going to register Man.

It seems @JennaLongoria was denied her flight, and her bags for “what came out of (her) mouth”, according to @United Manager, Gabriella Chidom—whose LinkedIn profile states is an expert in “developing and implementing DEI programs. https://t.co/36NbdLHYE1 pic.twitter.com/l6dJOuFBhJ— Bree A Dail (@breeadail) June 26, 2024

The captain is the final say as to who is allowed to stay onboard when there’s a problem, and they are usually very fair. He wanted her off.

I find it difficult to believe the Captain was personally involved in this little dispute. More likely, one of the trouble making flight attendants told the Captain something derogatory about the passenger, and on the basis of second hand information that may have been lies or exaggerations, he did what the flight attendant wanted.

Thanks for the background. It gives some support to your suspicions.

I say “sir” to a man and “ma’am” to a woman; if they don’t like it, tough toenails.

“I don’t wanna put words in their mouths because I still need statements, but some transgender comments were made, derogatory comments about being a bigot not being on the aircraft. This is what I heard,” the United official said.

I might have seen this elsewhere on FR. The proper response to the accusation of “you are misgendering me” is “No, the reality is you are misgendering yourself ! “

These weak kneed corporations cave to the left because they’re afraid of being sued. The only way they’ll change is if they start getting sued by the right. What happened to this woman and her family was wrong. I don’t know if it violated any law, but that’s never stopped the left from suing. This lady probably just wants to put this past her and get on with her life, but if she’s so inclined, I would encourage her to look into the matter to find out if she’s, in some way, eligible for damages from this woke corporation.
