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.

So you would have what, "no-rest piss-n-go" rooms?

No, no. No back pay, years of pay. Fuck you Walmart. She needs a lawsuit.

I never get those responses from companies.

Heard about this one through a trans friend. I hope she sues the fuck out of them.

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.

Am I the only one who had to look up what 'cisgender' means?
piccolo@sh.itjust.works · 15 pts · 1y
Probably, most of us live in 2025.
ploot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 10 pts · 1y
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.

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

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.

What's absurd about it? Transphobia is real.
