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 ugly anymore
“wE cAn aLwAyS TeLL!”
Am I the only one who had to look up what ‘cisgender’ means?
Most people know what it means, I think. Still, no shame in not knowing.
Probably, most of us live in 2025.
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.
My cis sister is 6’4". This is bullshit.
Heard about this one through a trans friend. I hope she sues the fuck out of them.
a man who mistook her for transgender verbally threatened her in a women’s restroom
…
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 :'(
So you would have what, “no-rest piss-n-go” rooms?
Nice
Im not buying the story. I’m guessing there is more that happened.
🤡
I’m guessing you’re only saying that because you agree with firing people to make bigoted shit happy.
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.
Maybe you could actually read the article to find out.
I read the whole article. As well as other articles that had more info on it. All just reports on a facebook post. Nice try.
Try again.
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 than happened” could possibly justify his actions.
Are you asserting that she is lying about being accosted by a man for entering the women’s bathroom?
I’m asserting that she is either lying or leaving out more to the story. Want my proof? What about any of her proof? What about the other side of the story. It smells like BS.
The other side of the story is Walmart corporate offered to rehire her over the heads of the assholes running the store
So Walmart is the good guy? No mention of other employees being removed for how this was handled. The story still comes off as incomplete.
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.
You have quite the imagination and theory. Full of truthiness.
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.
What is it about incels that makes them impervious to logic?
Childish name calling when you have no argument.
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.
“That’s a huge bitch” Deuce Bigalow Male Jigalow
Unfunny at the time, now just fucking offensive.
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?”
