This is a you problem, not a Caitlyn Jenner problem.
Maybe it was for his “If you can read this, the bitch fell off” t-shirt.
Seriously, Wiserman? You’re accusing a billion people of being too sensitive? Let’s flip the script:
Whoa buddy!
A bigot across the aisle telling her to shut the fuck up isn't a small slight. Its wrong and I don't care what religion you adhere to, it is unacceptable to treat another human being like that. And if you're talking about the Buddhist monks in Mayanmar and their completely unBuddhist attitudes and actions regarding…
Except the unhinged racist rantings didn’t seem to trigger an emergency landing. To say “that was wrong,” didn’t demand anything other than the basic courage and decency to speak one clear and declarative sentence. No fuss or chaos required.
I’ve been handed unopened soda cans on many carriers, United included. But then again I was white and not wearing a hijab so clearly was no threat (eye-roll).
I cannot understand why no one spoke up for her. Especially when the bigot told her to shut the fuck up. No way in hell would I have kept my mouth shut.
I know Tahera. She is the real deal, and a totally reasonable human being who gives everybody the benefit of the doubt. This is bullshit and shouldn’t happen to anyone. But it probably happens all the time, and I’m glad she’s in a position to call it out.

“This happened when they were making The Hobbit. They needed to cast background actors, specifically background hobbits.
Wow well where to start? I guess I should preface this all by saying I did mine in Biochemistry, so it was a full-time 9-5 in the lab type thing with plenty of writing/reading homework on top of that. Also came in on weekends plenty of times to get stuff done, start experiments that need many days to complete etc.
