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.

in other words, this is a reason for the workers to unionize.
The whole thing with supervisors is kafkaesque, too. In most situations, going over your supervisor’s head is a bad idea. In this situation, Walmart expected it!
Let me just state the obvious: They fired her due to the current US administration. She got harassed in the first place because of the current US administration.
Trump is effecting corporate decisions without even making in specific executive orders as well bolstering the common rightwing individual’s boldness in harassing people.
current US administration is the same goddamn administration as the one we had the last four years and the last four years before that
has the minimum wage turned into living wage, or were the jackboots defunded, did we start giving a shit about the planet, did we suddenly give out universal healthcare, did we stop filling up prisons during anyone’s reign as puppet of the united states?
and we still get rid of dissidents in various ways like carting them off to some out of country prison that is an extra awful hell
just because the elites decide the new decorating color is Blue or Red does not mean things are magically going to get better
that takes revolutions
MLK and Malcom X knew this
Both sides are terrible and terribly similar in all sorts of bad ways. I have hated every President in my lifetime ( back to Reagan) ALL of them have been terrible so most years I would sound like you but Trump is different. He is all the worst qualities of the worst both sides have to offer and then turn it up to 11. I hate Democrats as much as Republicans normally but this piece of warm wet dogshit is on a whole other level. I would vote for any of our past trash Presidents and be happy about it if it meant no more Trump… ever.
like any of the votes ever actually mattered or were really counted
United States has all but said it is all show and both parties treat the elections like some to do party they have every four years

“I promise fascism not now, but later” is not a viable strategy to fighting fascism. Democrats promise to not be fascists, but they also promise to ensure that fascism will come about in the future. Republicans are fascism now, Democrats are fascism later.
Well if later is after I’m dead that works for me
you will make a great boomer one day
One day, I feel like I’m ready right now
Saying that the previous administration is as bad as the current one is exactly how everyone ended up in this mess.
There are measurable changes that the current administration has made - for the worse. To pretend or think otherwise is being ignorant.
Its quite simple. The events reported on this post would not have happened if Kamala Harris had won the 2024 Presidential election.
If you disagree, you are either willfully stupid or malevolent and no one should listen to a word you say.
This literally happened in the 1954 Lavender Scare. Coworkers could report you for being a “security risk” and you’d be fired because they assumed you were a lesbian.
It’s why we have pride parades, to exercise that muscle and stamp out the fear of “otherness” in society.
Before I read about the Lavender Scare, I didn’t realize that Washington was a growing gay hub in the 40s/50s due to the expanded bureaucracy post New Deal. Also, that the anti-gay policies spread to universities and the private sector, which seemed to become the norm after that. Eventually, universities and the private sector cared more about sexual orientation than if you were previously a member of the Communist party. History is important and relevant.
Yep, history is always important. Books on history also help you find solutions to today’s (annoyingly recurrent) problems, too.
DC is interesting in that it was a great mixing area because of all the postwar army bases. WW2 allowed many rural people from all walks of life to mix together, and people who were gay/bi/lesbian+ all had the chance to mix together for the first time in…well…perhaps ever, for everyone from small town Kansas to big city NYC. That opened doors for a lot of our ancestors.
And ironically, the lavender scare is what later precipitated into the gay rights movement, when everyone got sick of mandatory butthole inspections at work, and started suing and winning. (Embellishing a bit, but you get the gist)
Redneck fuck should a been arrested for being in the ladies room to begin with. Pervert
omg let’s go after everybody that doesn’t fit some kind of white heteronormative cookie cutter idea of humanity
So… middle school?
That’s pretty much where the magoffs are, emotionally and intellectually.
I don’t know, most middle schoolers learn and grow out of it. MAGAs are not up to that level.
So fragile and white…
Is this headline missing a few words? I am unclear what happened, even after reading the story. Some guy thought she was trans so she was fired? I feel like there is some missing information here.
I think management wanted her fired for fear of a similar incident. Fuck Walmart.

“But you can always tell! They’re so obvious!”
Not a shock that Rural Redneck Inc. has dipshits for managers, as the owners are some of the most unethical monsters ever bred in the capitalist culture of America.
The “Toupee Fallacy”
I hope she retires after suing Walmart for millions.
Tort reform put a stop to all of that in the nineties
lol, she’ll get a few grand after years of effort, pain, and outright harassment.
Sorry to bust your bubble but that won’t happen. Walmart is infamous for drowning people that sue them in litigation until they are bankrupt.
She’s free to sue them for sue but that at best will get her a small payout that her legal bills will immediately consume. That’s only if Walmart offered her a payout, I’d say in this political climate and in Florida they would just grind her down.

WTAF.
“As of 2024, the Adolph Coors Foundation is the only one of the three organizations still publicly disclosing support for the conservative group.”
The fucking WHAT Coors Foundation?
Coors was founded by a man named Adolph Coors, long before that name became problematic due to its association with a terrible carbonated liquid.
Well played. This made me laugh.
Why was the man who was threatened by her in the women’s room?
If he’s a man concerned about protecting murica against the scourge of the trans, and a donvict-supporting magoff, well, then, by Jehovah, it’s his right to be in that bathroom inspecting the genitalia of anyone in there.
You know, to Protect Women and Girls ™.
Obviously he was just there to make sure everyone using the women’s restroom had and honest, God-given pussy.
G-gussy?
Godussy. Can’t be unclear about these things.
Jesusussy does not have the same ring does it?
It’s got a ring to it, of sorts. But it sounds like the pussy owned by Jesus. Since Jesus didn’t make any pussies.
Id also recommend removing the second us, leaving us all with:
Jesussy.
…so the jesussy is transparent?
I see how you could come to that conclusion, and it’s an easy mistake to make. But actually the holy-ghostussy is the transparent one.
G-Pussy
Fuck walmart and double fuck Florida.
I hope this poor girl can flee the state. Does she have a gofundme to help with moving expenses?
