Airline 'looking into' Lena Dunham's claims that employees engaged in 'transphobic talk'
GMA via Yahoo News ^ | August 3, 2017 | Joi-Marie McKenzie

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."

Trans Phobic Airlines?

Wasn't that Howard Hughes's outfit?

They went out of business years ago.

Seriously, though, it was 2:50 in the morning.

She was posting all kinds of things she supposedly heard in the airport and looking like this:

And she's been known to make things up before.

Too bad East Germany doesn't exist anymore. Lena Dunham could move there and work for the Stasi

The Stasi motto was "Schild und Schwert der Partei" (Shield and Sword of the Party) … One of its main tasks was spying on the population, mainly through a vast network of citizens turned informants.

How does she know they were female? I mean, how does she know they identify as females? Perhaps they appear to be female, however , liberal bitches such as Lena Dunham lecture us about gender identity and all that. You can’t assume someone is male or female; you can’t assume that their appearance as stereotypical female, in this case,indicates that the people in question identify as female.

Lena Dunham is guilty of the same kind of alleged bigotry she accuses others of.

I’ve read a few articles here written by these nuts and the next step is trying to shame people into dating and having “sex” with them. I kid you not.

She’s sick and insane. I suppose that’s redundant, but it’s still far less than I could have said.

This reminds me of something that happened to me one time.

I was boarding a flight to come home from doing an out of town project for work. I found my seat and noticed there were a couple of good looking off duty female flight attendants sitting behind me. They were having a discussion about the guy one of them had met.

Apparently they thought no one could hear them. The discussion got to whether he was good looking or not and how was the sex. The one replied that he really wasn’t that good looking but the sex was great. The other pops up and says “You could always put a bag over his head” and they busted up laughing.

I stood up and turned around with a smile on my face. All they could say was “oh sheot”. They got up later to help serve drinks and would smirk as they walked by and I would smirk back. We were now sharing a secret in common about how women actually talk about men. :)

I really enjoyed that priceless moment. lol
