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.

    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.
