Transgender actor Tommy Dorfman claimed there was a “human rights violation” after being “misgendered” by a Delta Airlines employee at New York-LaGuardia International Airport.

In a video, Dorfman complained about being called “he” and stated that another woman was intentionally misgendering.

Dorfman described the incident as a “human rights violation” and posted about it on social media. (Trending: Could Taylor Swift Save Biden In 2024?)

The airline employee said, “It wasn’t intentional, but if you want to take it personal, that’s also okay.”

“You’re being condescending and if you want to continue, I have full authority to escort you out the building right this moment if you want to play that game with me,” said the employee.

“Would you like to continue three days before Christmas? I really don’t mind,” added the employee.

Dorfman said, “I’m good.”

Delta Airlines stated that they were aware of the video and investigating the matter, including reaching out to the customer for more information.

Dorfman wrote this now-deleted post on X: “When you try to advocate for yourself at @delta and are met with even more transphobia and threats of being arrested at LaGuardia.”

“Tristan, the employee, said he was fine with me posting this,” added Dorfman.

“Didn’t realize it was condescending to flag a human rights violation after another employee misgendered me incessantly,” claimed the actor.

Delta Airlines is reportedly “aware of the video and looking into the matter, including reaching out to our customer to understand more about what occurred.”
