A family was reportedly denied boarding by United Airlines after one member failed to use a flight attendant’s preferred pronouns. In a video shared to X, Jenna Longoria explains that she, her 16-month-old son, and her mother were abandoned at an airport in San Francisco without any formal explanation from the airline.
“Okay, so we were boarding. Myself, my 16-month-old son, my mother,” begins the video. “They took our luggage on the plane, which has my thyroid medication, which I’ll be very sick without. My mother’s medication. They basically said: ‘Tough luck.’”
Noting that her young son was becoming distressed while she was speaking with a flight attendant, she adds that the airline didn’t specify exactly what she said that was offensive other than referring to one of the staff members with the wrong pronouns.
“I was speaking to one of the flight attendants and got their pronouns wrong. The other flight attendant didn’t like it. I said I am really sorry, ‘they,’ I’m not very versed with pronouns,” she continues, adding that she had been preoccupied with trying to get her son’s car seat on the flight because it was his nap time.
“They’re saying that it’s a hate crime that I did, that I might not even be able to ever fly United. We don’t even know how we’re going to get back today. I don’t know what to do. I really don’t know what to do. I don’t know what my rights are here,” concludes Longoria.

This merits litigation.
A favorable court will test United Airlines to shreds.
It NEEDS to happen. Not just for the mother, but for the rest of us as well.
I will never fly United after hearing this. Also I recommend referring to people as your excellency. LOL.
“TEAR United Airlines to shreds”
(hate the iPhone…hate the iPhone…hate the iPhone…)
Scott Kirby needs to apologize to the family and fire his staff NOW.
I see a well-deserved humongous lawsuit coming.........................
Sue them for millions.
People need to start referring to these incidents as sexism.
Transgenderism mocks the authenticity of being male or female.
United policy is a sexist policy of sexual discrimination.
Jenna needs to reunite United’s arse with a lawsuit. Correct grammer is not a crime.
maybe tags next to the flight attendant’s name proclaiming “male”, “female”, “other” or “confused” would be appropriate.
Thank god I don’t fly anymore.
There is only one response to this: leave the offended accuser with fewer teeth.
Enough of this nonsense.
Ha!
Let’s face it! America has now become a third world septic tank. This is why the far left commies didn’t want anybody making America great again. **** United’s Pronouns. Grammer is not a crime. They need to throw the flight attendents’ asses in jail. The fags can’t force us to adopt their stupidity and BS.
I am not clear on what the factors are in determining the location of the trial, when filing a lawsuit. United is HQ'd in Chicago, the incident occurred in SF. Not sure where this woman lives, but getting a decision against United in SF on this will be difficult at best.
Hey, how about using the pronoun “IT” for all sexually confused people? (”It is considered to be neuter or impersonal/non-personal in gender”).
“Okay, so we were boarding. Myself, my 16-month-old son, my mother,” begins the video. “They took our luggage on the plane, which has my thyroid medication, which I’ll be very sick without. My mother’s medication. They basically said: ‘Tough luck.’”
She does have issues with pronoun use.
The correct usage is, "My 16-month-old son, my mother and I..."
United should be a dead man walking if it is not already. Stick a fork in it, they are done.
You forgot to mention that you have to "Click your heels three times.. "
PRONOUNS TRUMP EVERYTING! Especially if we can drag 4 or 5 of them together at once. These freaks are gonna get met with a throat punch one of these times.
