The \u200bexchange, which took place at\u2063 the ticket \u2062counter, was shared on Tommy Dorfman&#8217;s TikTok \u200baccount and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/punk-pours-gasoline-on-random-truck-fun-immediately-ends-when-old-man-whips-out-a-pistol\/\" title=\"Punk pours gasoline on truck, old man pulls out pistol.\">quickly gained attention<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the video, Dorfman&#8217;s\u2064 presence is not visible, but\u200b a\u200c voice behind the \u200dcamera can be heard engaging \u2062in a \u200bheated \u200bargument with \u2064the Delta\u2064 employee. Dorfman confronts the employee about \u200cintentionally misgendering them, to\u2062 which the employee responds\u200c defensively.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;And what about when a\u200c Delta employee misgenders you\u2063 intentionally?&#8221; Dorfman \u2062questions at the start of\u2063 the video.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The gate agent \u200battempts to defend themselves by\u200c saying, &#8220;While you&#8217;re talking, she&#8217;s \u2014 he&#8217;s talking too.&#8221; However, Dorfman points out that they have been misgendered\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-more-votes-than-voters-in-key-swing-states\/\" title=\"Trump: More Votes Than Voters in Key Swing States\">multiple times<\/a>, leading to a tense back-and-forth.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;You\u200c just \u2064misgendered \u2064me again, multiple times, both of you have,&#8221; Dorfman asserts.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Delta employee\u200b tries to downplay\u2063 the situation, claiming it wasn&#8217;t intentional. Dorfman interrupts, insisting that the misgendering\u200d was deliberate. \u2063The argument \u2063escalates, with\u200d the employee accusing Dorfman of\u2063 being\u200b condescending and threatening \u2062to have \u2062them escorted out of the building.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re being condescending,&#8221;\u2062 the gate agent retorts. &#8220;Would you like to continue three days\u200c before \u200dChristmas? I really don&#8217;t \u2063mind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Dorfman later\u2062 shared their experience on\u200d TikTok, expressing\u2062 their disappointment with the way they \u2063were treated. \u2064They reveal that the Delta agent even called the\u200b port authority,\u200d resulting in\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/extraordinary-courage-bodycam-shows-officers-close-in-on-mass-shooter-who-killed-9-in-san-jose-workplace\/\" title=\"\u2018Extraordinary\u2019 Courage: Bodycam Shows Officers Close-In On Mass Shooter Who Killed 9 In San Jose Workplace\">police officers arriving<\/a> \u200dat the\u200c scene.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200cvideo received\u2063 mixed reactions, with some supporting Dorfman and others criticizing \u2062their approach. \u2064One person commended the\u200b Delta employee for their handling of the situation, while another called \u2063for them \u2062to \u2062receive a raise.<\/p>\n<p>Collin Rugg, \u200cwho shared the \u200cvideo on \u2064Twitter, garnered \u2063over 5 million views\u200c and praised\u200d the \u2063Delta employee, suggesting they deserved a raise. Rugg also clarified \u2064that \u200cDorfman, known for their\u200b role in the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why, had shared the video in an attempt to expose the\u2064 employee but faced backlash instead.<\/p>\n<p>This \u2063incident \u200cis not the\u2063 first time Delta\u2062 Air Lines has been accused of misgendering. Transgender influencer Rose\u200c Montoya, infamous \u2064for \u200cgoing topless at the White House, previously called \u200cout the airline \u200cfor similar behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Delta \u2063Air Lines responded\u2062 to the incident, stating\u200c that \u200dthey are investigating the matter\u2063 and reaching out to the\u2062 customer involved to gather more \u2062information.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How \u2062did Delta Air Lines respond \u2062to\u2062 the\u200d incident involving Tommy Dorfman and their misgendering by an\u200b employee?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Let me explain. I apologize \u2064if there was any \u200cmiscommunication, but I simply referred to you based on the information I had at the time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The argument continues, with Dorfman expressing their frustration and stating that\u2064 they expect better treatment from Delta as a paying customer. The employee, however, maintains their position of having acted appropriately based\u2062 on the information available to them.<\/p>\n<p>Misgendering, which refers to using the wrong pronouns\u200d to address someone, is a \u200dsensitive issue, particularly for transgender\u200b individuals. It can cause emotional distress and perpetuate a lack\u2063 of acceptance and understanding.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the incident, Delta Air Lines issued a statement acknowledging the\u200b incident and emphasizing their commitment to providing an inclusive and respectful environment for their customers. They\u2064 stated, &#8220;We take this matter very seriously, and we are conducting a\u2062 thorough investigation \u2062to \u2064understand the full \u2062context of the situation. Delta&#8217;s policy is to \u200dtreat all customers with respect, regardless of their\u2064 gender identity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The incident involving \u2062Dorfman \u200cand the Delta employee highlights \u200bthe ongoing\u2062 challenges\u2062 faced by transgender individuals in society. The\u2064 importance of respect and understanding cannot be understated when it comes\u200c to issues of gender identity. Proper pronoun usage\u200d and addressing individuals with the respect\u2064 they deserve are crucial steps towards creating\u2064 a more inclusive society.<\/p>\n<p>It is necessary for companies like Delta Air\u2064 Lines to not only have policies\u2064 in place \u2064but also effectively implement them through employee \u200ctraining. Sensitizing employees to the diverse experiences and identities of their customers can help avoid situations \u200clike the one faced by Dorfman.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore,\u200b incidents like this emphasize the need for continued education and awareness in society regarding gender identity. Misgendering is often unintentional, driven by societal norms and lack \u200bof exposure to transgender individuals. By \u2063promoting understanding and acceptance, we can build a more inclusive society where individuals are treated with dignity and respect.<\/p>\n<p>In \u200cconclusion, the incident\u2063 involving the Delta Air Lines employee and the misgendering of Tommy \u200bDorfman serves as a reminder of the struggles\u2062 faced by transgender individuals. It \u200chighlights the importance of respect, understanding, and education when it comes to gender identity. Companies\u200c like Delta have a responsibility to\u2063 ensure that their policies\u2062 are \u2064implemented effectively, and society as\u200c a whole must strive towards creating an environment where individuals\u2062 of all identities \u200dare treated with dignity and respect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Delta Air Lines employee faced backlash when accused of misgendering a transgender customer by actor Tommy Dorfman.
