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.

I thought it was trans people that were a threat in women’s restrooms. Turns out its assholes that are the threat.I’m not sure there has been a single documented case of a trans person causing trouble in a restroom. Assholes, by contrast, cause plenty of trouble.
And yet without assholes we wouldnt need public restrooms :'(
Nice
So you would have what, “no-rest piss-n-go” rooms?
its not safe to be ugly anymore
“wE cAn aLwAyS TeLL!”
No, no. No back pay, years of pay. Fuck you Walmart. She needs a lawsuit.
I never get those responses from companies.
“After we treated you like shit, how would you like to continue to work here?”
My cis sister is 6’4". This is bullshit.
If they know they’re going to be fired when confronted by a transphobe, they’re likely to srart getting violent on first contact with one. I’m totally here for it.
The fucked up part of the story was the fucking man went into the women’s room to confront her. That motherfucker should see the inside of a cell for that alone.
I’d prefer he see (just ever so briefly, for the adrenaline and fear effect) the belt sander running at high speed that was about to remove his face.
He needs to take the asphalt temperature challenge.
Heard about this one through a trans friend. I hope she sues the fuck out of them.
Am I the only one who had to look up what ‘cisgender’ means?
Probably, most of us live in 2025.
Most people know what it means, I think. Still, no shame in not knowing.

I’m guessing you’re only saying that because you agree with firing people to make bigoted shit happy.

What’s absurd about it? Transphobia is real.

Sure. She must be lying because bigots can’t possibly exist!

You make excuses for bigots.

For the bigot who followed a woman into the restroom to harass her.
You’re pretending it never happened and you know better.
Go and hear Hitlers side of history and then Hang yourself.

Here’s hoping it doesn’t turn out to be a FaceBook post of an Onion article.

Maybe you could actually read the article to find out.
