Texas woman with her 16-month-old son denied boarding after misgendering flight attendant

Jenna Longoria, a women's health expert from Texas, was refused boarding on a United Airlines flight from San Francisco after unintentionally misgendering a flight attendant twice while boarding. Despite seeking assistance for her crying son, Longoria and her family were barred from the flight, allegedly for excess carry-on items—a claim she disputes. United Airlines cited concerns over comments made, including those about transgender issues, prompting backlash and leaving Longoria seeking clarification and resolution following the incident.
