Lena Dunham overhears ‘transphobic’ talk at airport, helps track down attendants who are not woke
TheWrap on Wednesday relayed the heroic actions of actress Lena Dunham, who overheard American Airlines gate attendants at JFK engaging in what she called “transphobic talk.” Dunham didn’t confront the attendants, but she did hop on Twitter afterward to alert the airline and give what information she had to help the airline track them down.
Not gonna call out the airline who delayed cuz shit happens BUT I did just overhear 2 @AmericanAir attendants having a transphobic talk.

At this moment in history we should be teaching our employees about love and inclusivity @AmericanAir. That was worst part of this night.

She also contacted the airline via direct message to give specifics that might help American identify the offending employees.

We don’t know if they’ve been tracked down and pilloried yet, but the airline is on it.

For those who followed my airport saga yesterday, here's my takeaway: these days it's the little things. A smile. Offering a seat. Respect.
