Making sure it’s filmed for maximum drama and attention obviously

Well done that employee for staying calm and polite.

Lets hope he has Deltas full support - he’s done nothing wrong

Delta employee threatens to kick trans woman out of LaGuardia airport

Trans actress Tommy Dorfman claimed two Delta employees 'intentionally' misgendered her at LaGuardia airport last week.

The poor guy on the desk probably had a massive commute to his job, had probably been working long hours and flat out at the busiest time of year only to be confronted with this gobshite filming him and having a hissy fit. He didn't get up that morning and expect to go viral as a result of this vile person.
These people are awful, I hate this new world where people whip out their phone and video people trying to do their jobs, however in this instance it's a gift as it backfires on this entitled man-child.
I hope that Delta airlines gives full support to this staff member.

Why does everything have to be a drama for these guys?

Based 100%.
Never met a bigger group of whingers in my life

You know trans women aren't really women because they're NEVER called "Karens"for engaging in this kind of behaviour.

Very true!

I must admit I googled this person and their bio made my head spin.

In the space a few years Tommy went from an out and proud married gay man to then come out as non binary.
Then then decide they’re a TW who is now a lesbian 🤷‍♀️

And isn’t there something that doesn’t sit right about an over privileged white man getting upset about made up prejudice by a young black man - who comes out of this with absolute dignity.

Similar to the Amanda Jette Knox journey - bog standard gay, followed by non binary, then full-on trans identity. Makes you wonder why TRAs are so desperate to lock in trans identities on kids when clearly identity is a very fluid thing 🤔

Tommy Dorfman was bridesmaid at Lena Dunham’s wedding. LD once publicly “called out” alleged transphobic chat between American Airlines staff. I just looked up when that was and it was in 2017. It’s heartening to see the response to these people has definitely changed since then.

But, TBF, through all the trials and tribulations, he appears to have retained his inner dickhead.

Turns out the internal dickishness of some men remain despite their efforts to remove all signs and references to the outer dick!

Bit sick of this word misgendering. It happened to me so often as a teen as I didn't grow big boobs and had a short haircut for years. I just gave them a 'look' & they'd apologise. That's it. That's it. Why so much silly sensitivity?

It's a deliberate act of dominance. There's that other chap who just sets his phone up in cafes and restaurants to deliberately tape waiters calling him sir.

When you can call service providers just doing their job 'transphobic' and get them apologising and anxious, it's a gift for some men.

In this instance, the delta employee held the actual power because Dorfman needed the flight.

What did he say? That Dorfman was condescending? Interesting that he's recognising that the behaviour is wrong and that he can say so.

It is wrong. And hopefully more people will say so.

The audio on these videos is always so illuminating...although tbf the photos were like a weird photoshop
I hope Delta stick up for their professional, calm crew.

Human rights violation. What a total tit.

OK, this is odd. Was married to a man (in a gay relationship, seemingly ended with the transition, so former husband now a trans widower), then decided to be non-binary, then a trans-woman and now a lesbian.

Doesn't quite seem to be the HSTS I thought that they were.

The strange thing with this person is the marriage to a man, and the husband (a gay man) was not happy over the transition.

There are plenty of posts from this male individual objectifying themselves as a female.

I wonder if they were headed to Malaga.

Seems tommy was headed there, per the article he had been "living privately as a woman for some time" lol.

JL690 · 27/12/2023 20:03

@ItWasneaMe for the publicity and attention , dahling.

ButterflyBitch · 27/12/2023 20:02

Every single post about this on the ‘what a twat, delta employee yay’ lines has thousands and thousands of likes. People are getting really sick of this shit.

Am also hoping Delta support the employee. Seeing as the employee was threatening to have Tommy removed from the flight I am guessing that was down to Tommy’s attitude. You can’t get arsey at airport checkin, they’re very strict about trying to make sure nobody with the potential for a big kick off is on the flight.

It will be interesting to see what happens.

literalviolence · 27/12/2023 19:38

If Tommy thinks that counts as any sort of harassment, then it's clear that he knows nothing about what it is really like to be a woman.

Villagetoraiseachild · 27/12/2023 19:32

I thought it was illegal to film in some if not all airports.
Check in staff are on the frontline of airport security so really please don't waste their time with trivia. They have more than enough to deal with, especially at this time of year.
100% Delta should back their people.
