A woman traveling with her 16-month-old son and 75-year-old mother claimed in videos posted Wednesday that she and her family were kicked off a United flight for misgendering a flight attendant. One video shows the woman speaking with a United representative who confirmed that the captain had made the decision to remove her for misgendering and other alleged comments.
Mom and her 16-year-old were just booted off their flight by United because the mom allegedly misgendered one of the flight attendants.

Nutritionist Jenna Longoria, aka the Period Guru, said she, her mother and her son were kicked off a United flight in San Francisco that was headed for Austin, Texas on Wednesday and that their luggage–which had medicines for each–was kept on the plane while they were left behind. Longoria said she was told she had committed a “hate crime” and that she may be banned from flying United.
Longoria posted it took United thirty minutes to kick her and her family off the plane and that the airline denied her request for their luggage with their medicines to be removed from the plane.
“As they were kicking us off plane I asked to get our bags & told them the urgency of getting our medications. It took about 30 mins for them to get the operations manager & formally kick us off flight. They chose not to take our luggage off when they had the opportunity.”

Longoria posted a video of her conversation with a United manager who told her that the captain denied her entry to the flight for “what came out of your mouth.” Longoria asked if it was because she used the wrong pronoun. The representative said, “There was, there was some more that I heard that you had conversation with inflight” and mentioned a “verbal confrontation.”
One of the flight attendants tells the upset mother “I gotta fact find. I gotta get my crews together. In flight has to get their statements. I need statements. I don’t want to go verbal about what I thought I heard.”

United contacted Longoria via X, but was slow to resolve her situation, while she and her family were stranded at the airport in San Francisco without their essential medication.
“Still waiting for resolution. I appreciate the DM that you’re looking into it but I’m still stranded here in airport with 16-month old & a 75-yr old mother. There is a 1:15 pm direct flight to Austin can we get permission to board?”
