Mind you, he/him/his called he/him/his chief operating officer ‘hun’ at work and apparently that was just sooo wonderful and liberating.

FFS. How do these people even function in real life.

"Hun"?

At best, that's sexist and unprofessional.

At worst, well, I'd not use that word in Glasgow. "Football fan" isn't a protected characteristic but I'm daydreaming of sending him a ticket and imagining how he'd defend his word choice in his red feather goonie at Ibrox.

Interesting thread from Venice. Scroll down for further offense to your eyes.

Since then, Dev says he contacted the hotel's head office. They said the hotel has ‘launched an HR investigation’ and ‘agreed they needed more formal training around LGBTQ+ issues.’

Or more likely Dev DEMANDED that they have more formal training and the hotel nodded along making the right noises hoping he would just fuck off

Edited

I hope and trust that they’ve launched their investigation right into the bin.

Petulant tosser seeking to elevate himself at other people's expense.

As a WOMAN (you know, those adult human female "things") I've spent years "overhearing" shite about females and having to deal with it.

Moreover, I've had a many vile comments directed at me personally simply because I have XX chromosomes.

Nothing I've said or done, just your regular open season misogyny. From "blonde jokes" to comments about my appearance, clothes, profession (I must be shit as it's a male dominated industry) etc.

I don't spend my life trying to get people sacked.

These people are just nasty bullies.

Literally waiting to find something to take offence at and so bloody gleeful when their efforts are rewarded.

The “journalist” who wrote this piece is probably paid more than the hotel employee that he's trying to get sacked. Absolutely shameful.

I think it's the performer, Dev Mistry, who's trying to get the employee fired. Dev Mistry seems to be the embodiment of the elusive "Karen" that MRAs on AIBU are always insisting isn't just a non-doormat woman but a crusader against the working class.

(I admit, though, I did a double-take when an message appeared on the site asking if I want "try MEN Premium for free". )

Codlingmoths · 01/09/2023 02:31

I wonder how he’d respond to hearing what the hotel staff are definitely saying behind closed doors about him now?

DiabolicalFinial · 01/09/2023 01:17

If he works in DEI, maybe he is touting for business?

duc748 · 01/09/2023 00:13

Every day, another madness. But the oxygen of publicity is probably for the best.

agent765 · 31/08/2023 23:38

What a knob.

I wonder if anyone reading that article gave a flying fuck about his opinion and how he's re-educating people to his own beliefs.

LGBTIQ+ List 2023: Dev Mistry, DICE | IQ Magazine

Continuing a series of interviews with this year's queer pioneers, IQ speaks to the London-based global internal comms manager

Not only does he have a beard, he’s part of a ‘pan-Asian queer cabaret collective’.

Which means he adopts woman face and we’re all supposed to clap like seals.

RudsyFarmer · 31/08/2023 22:58

I bet he’s got a beard.

PorcelinaV · 31/08/2023 22:55

Let's say they were having people there for a Christian event.

A member of staff is heard making an atheist statement.

Would they get head office involved? Or even complain at all?

MistyGreenAndBlue · 31/08/2023 22:34

To him I say this..

He said what now ?

Person with severe issues with faith/belief intolerance has tantrum.

After carefully removing headphones to be better offended.

And this is, apparently, news.

That was the height of the ridiculousness wasn’t it? Heard it through the music and took off the headphones to eavesdrop.

Helleofabore · 31/08/2023 20:58

TheGreatATuin · 31/08/2023 19:12

Wow. So he eavesdropped on a private conversation by someone working in a service position, complained to their management, got a forced apology, wasn't happy with an apology so got head office involved to presumably try get them fired, and contacted the media to put additional pressure on just as a cherry on top.
This is what privilege looks like, not oppression

Yep. And so proud of it I am sure.

Justme56 · 31/08/2023 20:15

Dev works in DEI so probably spends a lot of time telling people what they are allowed to think and say.

Christ, does Dev not have much of a life?
I’m particularly intrigued by ‘It was in the coffee shop, that’s shocking’; I have to wonder where it would be less shocking? The cocktail bar? Outside by the bins?

Truthlikeness · 31/08/2023 20:02

Very many trans people do not subscribe to TWAW. I mean - it rather invalidates their existence as transwomen. Who gets to decide what the party line is? Was there a vote?

LadyMadderLake · 31/08/2023 19:50

It's strange how saying "men are men and women are women" is considered transphobic. If you really think TWAW and TMAM, then that statement would be true. You would only think there was something wrong with it if you think TW are men "being" women while still also being men, and vice versa. Which I thought was was you're NOT supposed to think.

As for there's nothing in between, well there isn't. If this guy has a problem with that statement, then he needs to prove what is "in between" the sexes, with clear evidence.

Thank goodness for heroes like this calling out such atrocities committed by minimum wage staff.
