Thumbs down Don't Ever Flywith any kind of brace on United

On a flight home fro Seattle last week I was in the exit row by request.
upon getting settled with my wife I proceeded to put on a finger straightening brace and get comfortable when The head attendant said
I was incapable of performing the duties in the exit row.
I took the brace off and showed her what it did & she said she would talk to
the gate attendant.
She talked to them and came back and said she was told to talk to the captain.
She came back nd said the captain told her to move me.
I was treated with much disrespect and definitely was discriminated against.
When I asked to speak to the captain or a supervisor I got the distinct feeling
that they were going to ask me to leave the plane so I just took a new seat
assighment.
