Summary
Walmart fired Dani Davis, a 6’4" cisgender woman, after a man who mistook her for transgender verbally threatened her in a women’s restroom at a Florida store.
Davis, visibly shaken, reported the March 14 incident to her immediate supervisor but was fired for not informing salaried management, allegedly creating a “security risk.”
Davis called the firing discriminatory. After viral backlash, Walmart offered to reinstate her with back pay.
Davis, a longtime employee, is uncertain about returning, citing fears of a hostile work environment.

So, she was fired because… some dude was wrong?
Our society really likes to shit on women all the time, doesn’t it?
This is also taking place in Florida. A state that began horrible and has just doubled down on it in the last 20 years.
In 1977, Anita Bryant famously led the campaign claiming to “save the children from gays” during a vote in Miami-Dade County. While the law she supported was later overturned, Florida has long had a history of anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment.
She was fired because a man (without affiliation with walmart) entered the women’s restroom and verbally assaulted her. He wasn’t just factually wrong assuming that a woman can’t be tall, he entered a space that he knew he wasnt supposed to enter.
Men entering women’s restrooms to use the restroom: Nightmarishly immoral
Men entering women’s restrooms to harm a woman: Laudable and in the spirit of their Dear Leader
In an exclusive interview with the Guardian, Amy Dorris alleged that Trump accosted her outside the bathroom in his VIP box at the tournament in New York on 5 September 1997.
And low wage employees. It’s cheaper and easier to fire an employee than to confront a customer about their mistake. Remember kids, your job is only one crazy person’s ranting away from being taken away.
To a lot of people, trans women are just women they can still abuse.
Seems like a slam dunk lawsuit. I hope she wins.
so what the fuck. stop fucking with people. calm your shit before your desire to have a panic attack bleeds out and infects others.

I used to work for Wal-Mart, this doesn’t surprise me. They actually tried to have me written up for using a women’s room as a transgender woman and decided not to only because I pointed out that that would be discrimination under the law (Trump wasn’t president at the time) My days with the company were pretty much numbered after that. They’re not looking for workers, they’re looking for slaves; anyone who thinks they have rights aren’t slaves.

Isn’t it obvious? The reason they want to criminalize transpeople, someone who’s already an “invisible minority” is because any “Woke” behavior can be classified as “Trans” behavior… And anything the state doesn’t like can be classified as “Woke”, the Nazis actually did this by banning the teaching of any science and philosophy that was deemed to be too Jewish… Which was a net positive for the world for the sole reason of this meaning that Hitler never had the atomic bomb (He could have, but then he called the science behind it “Jewish Superstition masquerading as science.” and ordered it halted)
i worked at that W place and i did 3rd shift maintenance. cleaning, buffing floors, bathrooms. as the person cleaning the shitters you block the entrance. that never stopped a kentucky boy psycho with a gigantic knife. i quit the job after i encountered that trash fucker. just not a chill place to work. the general public are awful.
I never minded the dipshits than can’t grasp ‘closed for cleaning’ it was absolute animals leaving messes all over the floor and walls.

Walmart appeared to acknowledge the error in a statement released to the media.
“We want our associates to feel safe and supported in their workplace, and we won’t tolerate bullying or threats of violence against our associates or customers,” Walmart spokesperson Joe Pennington said in a statement. “We’ve reviewed the situation and will be addressing it internally. We’ve also made multiple attempts to invite Ms. Davis to return to work, with back pay.”
For once in my life I’d like to see one of companies respond in the same way that got them in the situation in the first place. Like if Walmart just responded, “lol fuck you idc” it would actually make me less angry than this bullshit.
Let me just state the obvious: They fired her due to the current US administration. She got harassed in the first place because of the current US administration.
Trump is effecting corporate decisions without even making in specific executive orders as well bolstering the common rightwing individual’s boldness in harassing people.
current US administration is the same goddamn administration as the one we had the last four years and the last four years before that
has the minimum wage turned into living wage, or were the jackboots defunded, did we start giving a shit about the planet, did we suddenly give out universal healthcare, did we stop filling up prisons during anyone’s reign as puppet of the united states?
and we still get rid of dissidents in various ways like carting them off to some out of country prison that is an extra awful hell
just because the elites decide the new decorating color is Blue or Red does not mean things are magically going to get better
that takes revolutions
MLK and Malcom X knew this
Its quite simple. The events reported on this post would not have happened if Kamala Harris had won the 2024 Presidential election.
If you disagree, you are either willfully stupid or malevolent and no one should listen to a word you say.
Saying that the previous administration is as bad as the current one is exactly how everyone ended up in this mess.
There are measurable changes that the current administration has made - for the worse. To pretend or think otherwise is being ignorant.
Both sides are terrible and terribly similar in all sorts of bad ways. I have hated every President in my lifetime ( back to Reagan) ALL of them have been terrible so most years I would sound like you but Trump is different. He is all the worst qualities of the worst both sides have to offer and then turn it up to 11. I hate Democrats as much as Republicans normally but this piece of warm wet dogshit is on a whole other level. I would vote for any of our past trash Presidents and be happy about it if it meant no more Trump… ever.
like any of the votes ever actually mattered or were really counted
United States has all but said it is all show and both parties treat the elections like some to do party they have every four years
As people predicted, transphobia has affected cis people.
It always has. See: Olympics women’s boxing.
What a fucking chode that guy is.
When you’re so committed to “protecting women’s spaces” that you go into a women’s restroom to harass a woman.
I need to go out Google searching what is a cisgender and… The world if fcked up
I didn’t know what it meant either. Apparently I have a label now without trying.
if you ever want to learn more https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/ is a pretty good resource 👍
Why a man was in women’s restroom?
making sure there are no “biological males” stalking and harassing “biological females”… by stalking and harassing them himself. every accusation is a confession.
They think it’s okay on the off chance that they can terrorize a trans woman.
This is the woman who popularized the “adult human female” slogan that transphobes pretending to be feminist love so much.
Shaun had an entire video about her
Yes. It’s an amazing video, as every single video he’s made is - most TERFs use the same rhetorical strategies, and knowing how Posie Parker’s brain works teaches you a lot about how the TERF brain works. It’s conspiratorial delusions (trans women are hiding every where in secret to try to sexually assault cis women, big pharma is pushing people to become permanent patients, therapists hate butch lesbians and masculine women so much that they tell them they have to be men) which they are attempt to use to explain their generalized sense of fear and anxiety.
They aren’t the Serena Joy’s but the “feminist” orgs who teamed up with her. Everyone forgets one of the lessons of Handmaid’s Tale - anti porn feminists teaming up with conservatives are what start the ball rolling. (A lot of TERF bloggers celebrate state porn id laws without realizing that lesbianism in itself will be considered pornographic).
Who’s Shaun?
Oh that guy. I saw his video on CinemaSins.
He was inspecting it, like trump inspected the changing rooms of miss teen usa.
why does anyone care who’s pissing where? are you a child?
Genitals
Obsession
Party
Because he was harassing women in the bathroom. He is literally what people like him, the right, say they are worried about. To reiterate a man entered the women’s restroom to harass a woman because he erroneously believed she was in his opinion a man in a woman’s restroom.
the whole distinction between men’s and women’s bathrooms is absurd. there’s no bath in there. piss, shit, wash your hands, get out. puke if you gotta. in theory it’s a sanitary place. oh dear, a man was being a creep. shout it out, don’t be a weirdo monster in the place where people do business
Yes bathrooms should just be unisex. American’s are complete morons about bathrooms.
If he was there to void himself, wash his hands, or check his grooming or anything else that one would consider an intended purpose of restrooms I would agree (except for the hypocricy)
However not only was he not in there to do any of that, he was in there to engage in hostility towards people who were in there to do that. And beyond that, he did so in a hypocritical way.
Or possibly a cat. Or a dog. Or one of the many other animals that really care about pissing spots.
Jesus fucking christ.
Land of the free
Whoever told you that is your enemy
How the fuck can you reprimand someone for not reporting an incident properly when they report it to their supervisor? The supervisor’s responsibility at that point is to either inform the employee of the proper way to report it or report it on their behalf. If the report doesn’t come through properly then the supervisor has failed to fulfill their duties, not the other employee.
They know all this. They didn’t fire her out of ignorance.
Why retaliate at all though?
These are the men threatening your daughters and wives on women’s restrooms
a man who mistook her for transgender verbally threatened her in a women’s restroom
I’m assuming he threatened her as she was going into or coming out of the restroom.
Self-righteousness and reasoning are often mutually exclusive
