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.'

Just call everyone “Comrade”. The communists will be happy.
Didn’t the baby say, “Fweedum!”?
“””fly to Austin from San Francisco”””
Flying from one Leftist Hellhole to another Leftist Hellhole is just asking for trouble.
Ha.
The baby understood grownups sometimes use pronouns other than the ones they really need. Probably in bundles.
This is just another reason to avoid flyng United. Their food has been bad for years.
Get a good attorney and sue the pants off of UA.
Actually, she was flying from SFO to Houston.
She lives in Houston.
Untied Airlines heading for being sued yet again. They and American AL are about the worse in customer service.

That’s actually pretty good. I’m going to add it to my bag of tricks.
Onward the Revolution!
I’m amazed that people like you believe her story.
Oh wait....you were there? Please tell us what really happened.
I no loner use pronouns.
Excuse me
Hey you
Ummm, ...
Hi there,...

Now we just have to worry about those same things falling out of the sky on us
< Oh wait....you were there? Please tell us what really happened. <
I’m always a bit perplexed when I see statements like that. This is a discussion forum, not a jury room. What’s wrong with giving opinions, or even when they are unsubstantiated?
Crazy wrong stuff would probably be counter-exampled anyway. So polite give-and-take seems best to me.
No United I guess. Too easy to get into trouble with a mental illness issue.
My dog ate my pronouns now he, she, it’s all over the place.
I don’t care how long it takes me. I’ll drive.
