Texas mom claims she was kicked off United plane for accidentally misgendering flight attendant
There usually is. I have never had to gender a flight attendant in all of my flights around the world.
- They welcome you aboard and you say thank you.
- They bring meals service around and you tell them what you want they give it to you, and you say thank you.
- You press the call button the flight attendant comes over you tell them what you want them get/do it and you say thank you.
- You deplane the flight attendant thanks you for flying with them and you say thank you.
None of those interactions require anyone to gender anyone and will not get you kicked of a plane.
Of course.
There's definitely some context missing here but the woman's own words make it clear it wasn't as accidental as she let's on.
"she said she slipped up and addressed the United crew member by the wrong pronoun multiple times"
Once, twice, maybe even three times is an accident. But multiple times is not an accident...
Also, like... how? On a flight my only interactions with the attendants is "hello," "thank you," and "excuse me, can I get a _______."
What was she doing, going full Karen trying to get her needs taken care of before everyone else?
She says she "accidentally" called the gate agent sir "one time". The article goes on to say when the lady relayed her story to a flight attendant, the flight attendant pointed out that the person she misgendered as sir was wearing a dress... Def doesn't seem unintentional
Absolutely. I know trans people and everyone I have ever met recognizes the difference between somebody making an accident one time versus someone being an intentional asshole.
And this is good enough reason to throw someone from the plane?
Repeated intentional insults towards the flight crew? Absolutely.
I don't expect you would tolerate being repeatedly insulted to your fucking face. Nor would you demand your sister or mother just sit there and put up with being called a man.
And just... no consideration given for mothers traveling with a baby (and an elderly parent here, but the woman was carrying a baby) anymore? :(
According to the airline it was a dispute over carry on luggage. It was resolved and she was rebooked on the same airline and flew out later that day.
The NY Post has found a new dumb thing they want you to be angry about; please do not follow up on this once United has responded and the inevitable bystander videos come out.
Why not just cut out the middleman and be simply angry about the existence of the NY Post?
Every decent person already is. But it doesn't do any good unless we say so.
I am sure NY Post's article is factual and unbiased. /s
They aren't the only news source covering it. Did they break the story or have an exclusive interview?
Had long hair once and was kneeling down to fix the motorcycle. Rando lady on bicycle sees me and yells "girl power!". I look up confused as i was the only one out in the cul-de-sac. I will always remeber her face when she saw mine lol
It's funny how when someone gets kicked off a plane, they were only, "trying to get child on the plane and these people threw me off for no reason". Then you find out they are an attention seeking wannabe YouTube star who runs to Fox News to say they're not political.
I don’t understand why this is called misgendering? We are talking about using the wrong pronoun, which is not connected to gender identity. I’m also confused how people on this thread and the article author are using words like “mom”, “woman” and “she” to discuss this person when we don’t know this person’s gender identity or preferred pronouns.
Redditor claims Texas mom is lying.
Because the story itself says that it is a fucking lie. It says that she called the person by the wrong pronoun multiple times. That does not happen by accident.
If I repeatedly punch you in the fucking face and every time I say oopsie are you really going to believe that it was an accident?
Yeah, she’s a fucking despicable person.
And the NYPost, who loves creative writing for ragebait, can say anything they want without substance by saying someone “claims” it.
Redditor claims NYPost staffed entirely by zombiefied alien host beings
See? It’s a totally true headline. We can all be journalistic masterminds if we only had Murdoch’s moral compass.
Dude chill. It's very possible to make the mistake if you weren't looking and just heard the voice. You're clearly too emotional about this topic to discuss it rationally.
The woman was otherwise occupied too, she was carrying her baby
Meaning?
She claims one thing, I claim another.
so, she didn't got kicked off the plane?
Are you only able to read headlines with eight words or less, or do you simply ignore all prepositional clauses out of some kind of principle?
You’ve even agreed with another redditor that Texas mom isn’t telling the whole story. Aka lying.
Not sure why you’re trying to pick a fight with me for saying the same thing.
yeah, but you don't believe her
yeah, not telling the whole story is also lying.
So we agree. She’s lying.

I’d be willing to bet that there’s much more to it than that.
