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.

      so you don’t have anything. let me help you: give me an example of transphobia in the real world that doesn’t have roots in misogyny. should be easy enough to point to any example considering how much we’re swimming in transphobia lately.

              so in response to me saying give me an example of transphobia that’s not rooted in misogyny, you decided to cite the example that we were already talking about, literally in the comment thread which started by me saying this is just misogyny… and you thought that was not in any way fucking insane, is that correct?

                The whole comment train is me saying you’re wrong, so rather than being insane, I think it’s consistent.

                  you haven’t said anything. I asked you if you had anything other than “nuh-uh” and you keep demonstrating you don’t.

                    Why should I? Misogyny is misogyny. Transphobia is transphobia. It’s tautological. Suggesting that transphobia is secretly something else requires a high burden of proof.
