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.

    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

        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.

        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
