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, a man went into the ladies’ restroom to assault a woman because he’s afraid of men entering the ladies’ room to assault women.

    Oh Florida… You constant shame on the republic.

      This is the desired outcome. They want all women to be as gender conforming and submissive to men as possible. They know it affects women who do not fit the defined conventions of what women are meant to look like / act like / talk like etc. This is actually the main reason they want to do it.

        Im always so weirded out by all the women that were second wave feminists who were sucked into the “gender critical” movent. I know not all activists are smart but they are literally selling out the ideals that they once held.

      A cis man went into the ladies wc to assault a cis woman who he thought was a trans woman because he is afraid that cis men start to use the excuse of being trans women to go into the ladies wc to assault women.

      The irony in this whole thing

      I had to double take when I read that because it was so mind numbingly stupid. I was like wait… huh? A man berated a woman in the woman’s bathroom?

      I thought this whole bathroom thing was about protecting women from men! /s
