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 we’re back to “you can’t just call anything you don’t like misogyny”.

      I truly don’t understand your angle. There’s plenty of actual misogyny to rage against without also appropriating the struggles of trans people.

        first of all trans women are women, so misogyny affects them just the same. there’s no appropriation here.

        second of all, it’s not “anything I don’t like”, she’s a fucking misogynist. literally accused a woman, a cis woman at that, not that it matters to me but it ostensibly should to the likes of her, of being a man for looking a certain way. of course it doesn’t matter to her though because she’s a misogynistic cunt. even after knowing she was cis she didn’t apologize or take back anything she said. she hates women.

        I would say read her books but I wouldn’t wish that upon my worst enemy so maybe listen to someone who has suffered through them and has something to say about her misogyny.

            literally nothing to do with all lives matter. I haven’t seen so many brain broken takes in a row in so long.

              Or you might just be an idiot

              Stop minimizing transphobia and misogyny both by equating them.

                that’s not minimizing either. you’re just taking offense for no reason. saying hotdog is a sandwich wouldn’t take anything away from either term.
