Jenna Longoria and her family were allegedly prevented from boarding a United Airlines flight from San Francisco to Austin because she misgendered a flight attendant. Longoria claimed she mistakenly used the wrong pronouns and apologized, but was accused of a “hate crime” by United staff. The airline later stated that the incident was due to a dispute over carry-on items, not mentioning the pronoun issue. Longoria found the explanation confusing and felt the situation was mishandled, describing it as “uneventful” when speaking to media outlets.
