“Give this man a raise!”
An airline employee’s stand against a “condescending” pronoun-policing actor landed him high praise on social media.
Transgenderism madness tried taking to the friendly skies the Friday before Christmas but one Delta Airline employee wasn’t having it at New York City’s LaGuardia Airport. As a result, actor Tommy Dorfman, a man who wants to be considered a woman, took to social media with a lament that got activists calling for a boycott while others viewed the intervening employee as a hero.
Dorfman captioned the original video posted to TikTok, “when you try to advocate for yourself at @delta and are met woth even more transphobia and threats of being arrested at LaGuardia. tristan, the employee, said he was fine with me posting this. didn’t realize it was condescending to flag a human rights violation after another employee misgendered me incessantly [SIC].”
During the exchange, which appeared to be a supervisor intervening after a complaint, the Delta employee could be seen talking to the actor and another unidentified person during which Dorfman accused, “You just misgendered me again.”

“Okay,” he replied flatly before the actor’s indignation grew further. “Multiple times. Both of you have.”
The employee responded, “That wasn’t intentional, but if you want to take it personal-” only to be cut off, “Well, she did do it twice.”
A moment later, as Dorfman pointed out, “You said she, then you said he,” the Delta employee asserted, “You’re being condescending. And if you want to continue, I’ll have Port Authority escort you out the building right this moment if you want to play that game with me. Which if you’d like to continue three days before Christmas, I really don’t mind.”
While Reduxx Magazine indicated that “Trans activists are calling for a boycott of Delta Airlines” over the incident, many of the comments on the actor’s post labeled him in the wrong for the behavior displayed.
“I’m with delta. He was very careful with his words and provided options,” said one, as another commented, “When you live in a constant state of victimization…I’m team Delta.”
Commentator Collin Rugg took to X to share the exchange and indicated the actor happened to be a friend of transgender influencer and Bud Light’s bane, Dylan Mulvaney, and that his response to the “pronoun police” deserved a reward. “Give this man a raise!”
NEW: Delta employee fed up with the pronoun police & threatens to kick man out of LaGuardia airport who whined about being “misgendered.”
Give this man a raise!
“Wasn’t intentional. But if you want to take it personal, that’s ok.”

These malignant narcissists think everyone must be forced to validate their mental illness or else it’s a “human rights violation.”
Good for this man. The sooner this social blackmail ends, the better.

This Delta employee gets my first “Great American of the Week” award. We need far more strong people like this gentleman in our country and far fewer self-absorbed phony victimization olympians.

“A human rights violation”.
These are not serious people.

Way to shut him up real quick. This is awesome, we can’t give into these men’s delusions.

Though it was unclear what it would entail, a Delta Airlines spokesperson told Newsweek the company is “aware of the video and looking into the matter, including reaching out to our customer to understand more about what occurred.”
In response to concern over the man’s future employment, The Babylon Bee sister site, Not the Bee, promised to cover expenses for the Delta worker if his job was put on the line.
“If this man gets fired, I’ll pay two months of his salary while he finds a new job. Half this country is making themselves intolerable to even interact with,” the site’s social media account captioned the video.

He was polite but firm, exactly how it should be. Hopefully delta stands behind their employee.

If @Delta fires him, especially after their continued effort to traffic illegal aliens over the country, they will face a boycott unlike anything seen before. Budlight’s boycott will looks like child’s play.
