Dani Davis told a superior at Walmart that a man screamed anti-trans epithets while she was alone in the bathroom. Walmart fired her after she reported what happened.

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.

    Walmart should have “fired” that customer, ie trespass him. WTF was this goon doing in the women’s restroom anyway?

      Is that trespassing? I would think it qualifies as a sex crime since a man followed someone into the woman’s bathroom.

        “Trespassing” someone, in a Walmart context, means the person is banned from a store and if they return they will legally be trespassing and may be arrested.
