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.
its not safe to be ugly anymore

…
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?
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.
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?”
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.
Are you asserting that she is lying about being accosted by a man for entering the women’s bathroom?
Because if you aren’t, then I would be very interested to hear what “more that happened” could possibly justify his actions.

The other side of the story is Walmart corporate offered to rehire her over the heads of the assholes running the store

What is it about incels that makes them impervious to logic?

No. That was actually a trap.
Trying to get you to give out doxxifying information, like the year you married or how many kids you have and stuff like that.You sidestepped well.
Go investigate and get back to us then. I personally am content with middle aged white Karen/Kalvin in HR fires woman for feeling shame rather than immediately reporting the assault.
corporate finds out and says “now listen we want hr to be inhumane, but you can’t be so inhumane you make news no matter what legal memo you read” and rehires the woman who was assaulted.
Nobody else was punished because the only reason corporate reversed the action was media attention, and the media doesn’t care if some random “I only have enough hands to cover my own ass, I don’t have a spare helping hand” hr person got fired because even if they did we all know that type of hr person is a dime a dozen.

Says the guy insinuating context to justify this attack, and accusing the woman attacked of lying, despite the fact that she was fired for not reporting the attack to a manager quickly enough?
At this point, you’re just embarrassing yourself. Lemmy is still too small for everyone here not to see through this weak ass bait.
Maybe you could actually read the article to find out.

Try again.
