Dani Davis told a superior at Walmart that a man screamed anti-trans epithets while she was alone in the bathroom. Walmart fired her after she reported what happened.

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.

    think about it: why would anyone give a shit about what people say and do about their gender if they didn’t have strict opinions about gender roles and didn’t see women as the “weaker sex”?

        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.
