Not gonna call out the airline who delayed cuz shit happens BUT I did just overhear 2 @AmericanAir attendants having a transphobic talk. — Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) August 3, 2017











At this moment in history we should be teaching our employees about love and inclusivity @AmericanAir. That was worst part of this night. — Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) August 3, 2017









She later contacted the airline via direct message on Twitter, explaining, “I heard 2 female attendants walking 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 uninformed employees of your company to have that kind of dialogue going on. What if a trans teen was walking behind them? Awareness starts at home but jobs can set standards of practice.”

Many took to Twitter to praise her actions. Filmmaker Joshua M. Ferguson tweeted, “Thanks for sending in this complaint — so important,” while others also thanked the actress for speaking out.

Dunham tweeted other updates from her trip, including a four-hour flight delay and a woman “who just yelled ‘I hate this plane and I have to take a s—‘ I worship and fear you.”
