Overview
- Tommy Dorfman shared photos and video on Instagram Friday that showed her first‑class seatmate sending texts that mocked her for being trans.
- The screenshots showed the man copy‑pasting the same message to multiple contacts and included replies, with a friend named Samantha urging kindness.
- Dorfman wrote that the man also made crude comments about flight attendants and said she posted to assert her autonomy and safety.
- In her caption, she pushed back on pressure to “pass” as a woman and called the man an “alt‑right vampire.”
- No airline or flight date was disclosed and the passenger was not named, which limits the chance of a formal airline response, and coverage noted her earlier 2023 complaint that Delta staff misgendered her.
