This confused man couldn’t tell you what he wanted. Eden Torres, a confused man, went to Sonics and got bent out of shape after an employee called him a sir. Torres demanded to talk to a manager, but during the exchange refuses to say that he wants to be referred to as a woman, instead asks the manager to make an assumption and he tells him the truth.

Sonic’s replied to the video.
“Eden, we have a strict anti-discrimination policy and take this very seriously. We launched an immediate investigation into the incident, and we have reached out to you via TikTok to gather more information needed to complete the investigation. Please feel free to DM us here.”
Torres commented about the incident on Twitter indicating that he didn’t want anyone fired but instead trained.
“The manager of this Sonic, told me, it’s ok that I’m gay. I’m not gay. I’m trans. There is a difference between sexuality & gender identity. Clearly, the manager doesn’t know this. That’s ok but he can learn. Clearly, I’m not the only one who had issues. Don’t fire him, train him.”
People on social media lit Torres up for asking the manager to assume gender, but then getting upset when he said he looked like a man.
“So the guy asks your pronouns (I thought you all wanted this) you then ask him to assume what he thinks you are (I thought you weren’t supposed to do that?) and then you get pissed at the answer. Literally, there was no way the guy could have won,” one user wrote.
“The employee asked you what you wanted to be called. Instead of answering, you told him to assume. When he did what you asked, you got upset. You had a chance to be called what you wanted but chose not to. This guy isn’t paid enough to put up with you,” another user tweeted.
This poor manager. He tried to apologize and answered honestly but Torres was just looking to be difficult. The manager apologized and that should have been enough. But Torres wanted to play the victim and get his 15 minutes of fame.
