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.
Absolutely not. It’s so absurd that’s why I’m not buying the story.
What’s absurd about it? Transphobia is real.
Sure. She must be lying because bigots can’t possibly exist!
I listen to two sides of a story and not just a Facebook post that the article is based on.
Go and hear Hitlers side of history and then Hang yourself.
Why are you talking about Hitler? There is lots of evidence about the Holocaust. Unlike a news article about a Facebook post.
Here’s hoping it doesn’t turn out to be a FaceBook post of an Onion article.
You make excuses for bigots.
What excuse for who?
For the bigot who followed a woman into the restroom to harass her.
You’re pretending it never happened and you know better.
