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 didn’t. I said transphobia is misogyny. if you disagree I’d be happy to hear anything more substantive than “nuh-uh”.

          so you don’t have anything. let me help you: give me an example of transphobia in the real world that doesn’t have roots in misogyny. should be easy enough to point to any example considering how much we’re swimming in transphobia lately.
