We can doubtlessly expect more and more of this as time goes on:
A Texas woman traveling with her 16-month-old son and mother claims she was kicked off her flight home Wednesday after she accidentally misgendered a flight attendant.
Jenna Longoria, a women's health and hormone expert from outside Austin, was boarding her flight around 9 a.m. at San Francisco International Airport when she said she slipped up and addressed the United crew member by the wrong pronoun multiple times, she told The Post.
Here's Mrs. Longoria's account of the incident:
Now, none of us was there. We don't know exactly what happened.
But if this lady did get booted off her flight because of a misgendering incident?
Now is probably a good time to remind you that United's CEO likes to dress in drag. 👇
The altercation allegedly came after some sort of dispute about letting the family on the plane:
On board, she asked another male flight attendant for assistance, telling him that 'he' — referring to the first flight attendant — had kept her mother, who had been helping her with her son, at the gate.
'He said, "He"? and I said, "Yeah." He then said, "She's wearing a dress,'" Longoria said.
From down the jetway you hear the distant, burly bellow:
Now, it's worth noting that United claims this is merely a procedural dispute:
United told The Post in a statement that Longoria and her family were prohibited from boarding 'following a discussion about having too many carry-on items' — which Longoria blasted as 'an absolute lie.'
Is it a lie? Well, in Longoria's defense, she has video receipts of the exchange:
The mother documented the ordeal on her Instagram, where she posted a video of her speaking with a United official, whom she identified as Gabriella, who came to speak with them about the situation. ...
When Longoria pushed for further clarification, the United official explained she was being denied 'for what came out of your mouth.' ...
'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.
Here's part of that video. Longoria has deleted it from her Instagram, which is her business page (she's a health coach who helps women with hormonal imbalances and nutrition):
There still could be some alternative explanation here, but having it on video is pretty compelling.
The family subsequently "decided to purchase tickets for an American Airlines flight back to Austin, which departed three hours later." They finally made it home safe.
We'll follow up on this clown-world story and keep you posted.
