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.

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

I wonder if they were headed to Malaga.

Service providers I’m guessing 🙂

Surface providers

Cosmetics companies?

Surface providers usually have a vocabulary designed to address people politely. Sir, madam, etc.

This is why they appear to be getting targeted by trans activists. Waiters, waitresses, and now airport staff. All filmed, and all leveraging manners.

I hope there is a push to come up with a non-sex specific word so that these tiresome people can't go round exploiting staff trying to be helpful.

when you try to advocate for yourself at @delta and are met woth [sic] even more transpbobia [sic] and threats of being arrested at laguardia,” she added. “didnt realize it was condescending to flag a human rights violation after another employee misgendered me incessantly.”

Now deleted post but transphobia and human rights violation - yep it’s offended BS bingo yet again 🙄

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

Well done that man for sticking up for the other employee! "Do you want to continue 3 days before Christmas I really don't mind" 😂

Never heard of that actor before but he is so masculine looking, being ya know, male, so what does he expect!

I hope the company protects the staff involved. Because calling a man a man shouldn't be a disciplinary offence!

Another case of a privileged, rich white man trying to make himself out to be part of an oppressed, marginalised group and posting an everyday transaction online to try and orchestrate a pile-on on an ordinary bloke who is just doing his job.

I'm hoping that it's backfired. All the tweets I have seen have been calling him out for his behaviour and praising the employee.

I hope that reflects majority opinion, that Delta support their employee and that what I saw isn't just a reflection of my Twitter bubble.

And I do feel sorry for airport employees, if someone infront of them has a passport in the name of Tommy and the male box is ticked on the passport then how are they meant to know? There’s plenty of men with long hair who would have a fit if they were called “her”.

CormorantStrikesBack · 27/12/2023 18:22

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.
