Airbnb declined to remove review when the guest was discriminatory by misgendering me in the review

as per the title, the guest referred to me as "she" whilst im a man. I brought this to airbnb's attention and they refused to remove the review. This review needs to be removed as its discriminatory and factually incorrect.

Hello @Rich4805 

 

it's likely it's a translation issue . Why not just reply to the review and confirm you are a he rather than a she .

 

can you say why you feel the review is discriminatory? 

because im a gay man and these guests have misgendered me and rather than blaming a translation issue, the review needs to be100% crystal clear or be removed. At this point its discriminatory and daffamatory

I've had guests misgender me before when the review has been translated  I don't see it as defamatory or discriminatory.

 

 Providing a response is the best way to clarify the situation if Airbnb won't remove the review.

Airbnb says you can contact them if you are misidentified by gender and they will correct that if you wish. They don't say they will remove the review entirely.
