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.

I want to say something about how stupid this is, but there are no words in all the 5 languages I speak fluently to describe the amount of stupid in this.
I tried to study the stupidity in this and I got 3 PhDs and an MBA while trying, but still can’t.
Well maybe some extra terrestrial being comes over and studies it because us people from earth just can’t do it
But at least you know how to sell stupid.
I want to figure out how stupid this is, but there are no equations in all of the high level math and physics I perform regularly and flawlessly to calculate the amount of stupid in this.
Being a linguist I understand exactly zero percent of your subject so I will trust your statement
Me too except im. Beter and also good at English
Redneck fuck should a been arrested for being in the ladies room to begin with. Pervert
a man who mistook her for transgender verbally threatened her in a women’s restroom
I’m assuming he threatened her as she was going into or coming out of the restroom.
Self-righteousness and reasoning are often mutually exclusive
What a fucking chode that guy is.
What ever happened to people just minding their own business?
Seriously, just help when you can and but out otherwise. EASY peasy recipe for a better life.
It’s almost like “Ignorance is bliss” got mixed into “intolerance is better” somewhere along the way.
Donald loves it. He wants more of it! Make America Alone Again!

These are the men threatening your daughters and wives on women’s restrooms
So, a man went into the ladies’ restroom to assault a woman because he’s afraid of men entering the ladies’ room to assault women.
Oh Florida… You constant shame on the republic.
Then Walmart fires her? WTF, the man should be banned from the store. Fuck Walmart.
I had to double take when I read that because it was so mind numbingly stupid. I was like wait… huh? A man berated a woman in the woman’s bathroom?
I thought this whole bathroom thing was about protecting women from men! /s
This is the desired outcome. They want all women to be as gender conforming and submissive to men as possible. They know it affects women who do not fit the defined conventions of what women are meant to look like / act like / talk like etc. This is actually the main reason they want to do it.
Holy fuck this makes so much sense and I hate it.
A cis man went into the ladies wc to assault a cis woman who he thought was a trans woman because he is afraid that cis men start to use the excuse of being trans women to go into the ladies wc to assault women.
The irony in this whole thing
Pilboooooy
Bortles!
It’s a constant shame on the empire now
Empires need dominion over foreign states, expanding their borders. America would love to be an empire, they are just a wee little dictatorship with an inept conman in charge. I’m hardly worried, mostly just sad to watch it happen in real time.
It is a sort of empire - Immerwahr called it a Pointilist one
https://www.historynet.com/the-invisible-empire-why-some-americans-dont-count/
You just forget about Samoa and Puerto Rico and all of our other colonies? America is an empire, you’re just late to the party of realizing it
I mean, the current borders of the US do include some former foreign states and land previously owned by others, that were taken over in the past, Hawaii for example. Does that not make it an empire, or does that stop counting after a century or so?
They’re working on it
And they are trying their best. *Pats their back"
Get strapped. These emboldened bully fucks will get worse if they continue to be met without resistance
Really doubt Walmart allows carrying a gun on the job.
So she’d get fired for it and be in the same position as she is now with less trauma
You could say the same about a variety of things. That doesn’t make it a good option.
I’m going to disagree with you and it’ll remain that way
Fuck yes.
Sue their pants off so we can see what’s in THEIRS
Jesus fucking christ.
Land of the free
Whoever told you that is your enemy

I used to work for Wal-Mart, this doesn’t surprise me. They actually tried to have me written up for using a women’s room as a transgender woman and decided not to only because I pointed out that that would be discrimination under the law (Trump wasn’t president at the time) My days with the company were pretty much numbered after that. They’re not looking for workers, they’re looking for slaves; anyone who thinks they have rights aren’t slaves.

Isn’t it obvious? The reason they want to criminalize transpeople, someone who’s already an “invisible minority” is because any “Woke” behavior can be classified as “Trans” behavior… And anything the state doesn’t like can be classified as “Woke”, the Nazis actually did this by banning the teaching of any science and philosophy that was deemed to be too Jewish… Which was a net positive for the world for the sole reason of this meaning that Hitler never had the atomic bomb (He could have, but then he called the science behind it “Jewish Superstition masquerading as science.” and ordered it halted)
i worked at that W place and i did 3rd shift maintenance. cleaning, buffing floors, bathrooms. as the person cleaning the shitters you block the entrance. that never stopped a kentucky boy psycho with a gigantic knife. i quit the job after i encountered that trash fucker. just not a chill place to work. the general public are awful.
I never minded the dipshits than can’t grasp ‘closed for cleaning’ it was absolute animals leaving messes all over the floor and walls.
I hate this. The doors should have locks.

Step 1) Sue Walmart. Step 2) Retire in Europe.
Do… do you think…
That a person working… at Walmart…
… has the financial resources…
… to sue Walmart?
Theres a very good chance of finding a lawyer to work for compensation after settlement
Agreed. The misogyny is clear, even ignoring any hint of trans issues. But, I don’t know what a settlement would look like and how much effort it would be to fight WMT lawyers.
Yeah, in a strictly financial sense, they already offered to make her whole. IANAL but I doubt this would be the million-dollar suit that I wish it were.
That’s because lawyers are generally pretty smart, and they can tell when they have a sure thing.
Morgan and Morgan is from Florida, they might be the largest firm in the world and take cases for improper firings. Usually they take their cases on the basis of you won’t pay anything unless you win. I’m sure they’d love that case
And they’re willing to take on big corporations - iirc they were representing Austin’s mom after he was killed in the monorail accident at Magic Kingdom 17 or 18 years ago this July (damn I can’t believe it’s been that long). She ended up settling out of court, it was really an awful situation.
The firm that advertises themselves as "good Catholics, who had as many children as they could, beginning immediately after they got married”? Yeaaaah.
Oh I’m sure they aren’t great people. They make most of their money off swindling insurance companies for huge settlement offers due to work/car injuries. That said, if you’re trying to get a huge settlement from Walmart, they are probably a good bet though. Also I know they turned down a case years ago when my dad went to them about his mother. She had surgery where there was no cartilage left in her ankle. They decided to screw her ankle to her foot essentially making it unable to move but reduce the pain. When she was in recovery they kept forcing her to get up and walk on it and she kept saying it hurt to much. Weeks into the rehab they said she wasn’t trying to put in the work. Then after a lot of arguing we finally got them to do new X-rays. Of course they found hairline fractures around the screws they placed. The insurance company/Medicaid and what not all said they wouldn’t cover any rehab time after the fractures were found because that time was used up during the period they were trying to force her to walk on a botched surgery. Morgan and Morgan turned down the case, and she reverse mortgaged her house to cover the rehab time. America at its finest
Oh wow! I’m so sorry. I wish you and your family all the best, going forward.
For something like this you likely could find a lawyer to do this pro bono. Maybe even the ACLU would get involved.
It’s hard to sue for damages when they’re offering reinstatement with back pay.
Emotional Suffering, and IANAL but I’m sure there’s more.
Punitive damages.
That’s a hard one to prove in court.
If it were easy we wouldn’t need lawyers.
Edit: Yeah, no one would believe this caused emotional distress. /s
Around 8 p.m. on March 14, she wrote that she was alone in a stall in the women’s restroom when she heard a man yelling.
“The voice was much louder than simply someone yelling in from the door. This man was fully IN the restroom, yelling something about” transgender women, Davis wrote.
Davis said the man yelled he was going to “beat" them and was going to “protect his wife/girlfriend from them” while his wife or girlfriend was pleading with him to stop and leave before he got into trouble.
Davis wrote she was scared and froze, not knowing if the man was going to physically attack her.
“I was the only one in there so it seemed pretty clear that he saw me enter the restroom and he assumed that I am trans because of my height,” Davis recalled. “It was terrifying and I wish no one else ever had an experience like that.”
The man eventually left, and Davis was able to leave the restroom and return to her workstation.
“My immediate supervisor came by and noticed that I was visibly shaken and emotional. After taking a few moments to calm myself down, I told her what had happened. I didn’t go home since it wasn’t long until my shift was done (10 p.m.),” Davis wrote. “Less than a week later, I was fired.”
The reason given for her termination was that she did not report the incident to a salaried management employee and, therefore, created a security risk.
“I took it to mean that I was the security risk because someone had mistaken me for trans,” Davis told the Washington Post.
Davis said she was devastated. Because of the anti-LGBTQ+ climate in Florida, she had been planning on leaving the state. But now, she doesn’t know after losing the job.
She appealed the termination through Walmart’s internal review process but was denied. She filed for unemployment insurance but also took her story to Facebook, where it soon went viral.
Can she sure Walmart, though? It’s shocking what employers can get away with. I’ve been wronged before, and had lawyers tell me there’s little they can do.
Do step 1 before the laws change to where the guy who threatened her gets a medal of freedom instead.
He’s already started the onboarding process to be in Trump’s cabinet

How the fuck can you reprimand someone for not reporting an incident properly when they report it to their supervisor? The supervisor’s responsibility at that point is to either inform the employee of the proper way to report it or report it on their behalf. If the report doesn’t come through properly then the supervisor has failed to fulfill their duties, not the other employee.
They know all this. They didn’t fire her out of ignorance.
Why retaliate at all though?
Seems like a slam dunk lawsuit. I hope she wins.
