Lena Dunham is calling out American Airlines after the actress claimed to have overheard two apparent employees engaged in "transphobic talk."
The "Girls" creator said her flight on another airline was delayed for hours Wednesday at New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Dunham, 31, wrote that the "worst part of this night" waiting at the airport came when she overheard two American Airlines' "attendants having a transphobic talk."
"At this moment in history we should be teaching our employees about love and inclusivity @AmericanAir," she added in a subsequent tweet. "That was worst part of this night."
Dunham then seemingly posted a screenshot of a direct message conversation she said she'd had with the airline.
In the message, the actress goes into further detail about what she claims to have overheard, writing that they were "talking about how trans kids are a trend they'd never accept a trans child and transness is gross."
"I think it reflects badly on uniformed employees of your company to have that kind of dialogue going on," Dunham continued. "What if a trans teen was walking behind them? Awareness starts at home but jobs can set standards of practice. Thanks for your consideration!"
In another screenshot, American Airlines appears to have replied, writing that they're "passing this along to our team to review."

LOL, Nully needs to see that one! Maybe a couple of others!
Nutjobs like Lena Dunham and Kathy Griffin show what a fight we are in, for the survival of our society....
“If you see something, say something.”
Yes - it’s surprising news that nearly EVERYONE hates Lena Dunham’s little Nazi tirade.
Looks like the POS made it all up!!!!
American Airlines doesn’t even operate out of Terminal 8, where Dunham was, and their last flight was more than an hour before she claimed the incident took place.
Guess she thought she could manufacture an “incident” to get the thought police motivated.
you called it!
