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."

Who says “transness”

In private conversations I just call them the sicko faggots, or queers, or homo’s, or dickless fags, or whatever.

I have never heard “transness”, that’s something the huge manatee Lena nasty ass stinky ass hairy ass dumb ass Dunham would say though.

I call fake, or she has selective hearing, or misheard it.

I’m willing to stipulate that I don’t even find “transness” to be a word.

She is somehow the only one to hear this supposed conversation. If it was really that offensive, etc, you would think others would have reported it.

She groomed her younger sister into lesbian relations and feels no guilt.

There is only one letter difference between “dog” and “hog” but there is no difference applying either to Miss Piggy.

>>the actress claimed to have overheard two apparent employees engaged in “transphobic talk.”

And what’s important is her “perception”.

Right MarxBanksters?

"transness is gross."

This comment alone red flags me that she's making it up. I don't for one minute believe that anyone would put those words together in that structure. I've never even heard the word "transness" used in the common venacular. I doubt anyone but weird Lena and her equally weird social circle uses the word "transness".

You can’t have a phobia against something that is actually scary or actually scary. It’s like saying one is Naziphobic or Commiephobic.

Meanwhile there’s a Korean psychopath developing ICBMs and we’re focused on people who can’t decide what type of genitals they have.
