Dorfman said, “And what about when a Delta employee misgenders you intentionally?”
“While she’s talking—while he’s talking,” began the employee.
“You just misgendered me again,” said Dorfman.
“It wasn’t intentional, but if you want to take it personal, that’s also okay,” replied the airline employee.
“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. Would you like to continue three days before Christmas? I really don’t mind,” said the airline employee.
Dorfman, known for a role in “13 Reasons Why,” emphasized transgender identity and use of “she/her” pronouns.
Delta Air Lines stated they are investigating the matter and reaching out to Dorfman for more information.
Dorfman wrote that they did not “realize it was condescending to flag a human rights violation after another employee misgendered me incessantly.”
A spokesperson for Delta Airlines said, “We’re aware of the video and looking into the matter, including reaching out to our customer to understand more about what occurred.”
