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.
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.
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.
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
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
This story is so depressing on so many levels.
First and most obviously, we have a biological male entering a women’s bathroom to harass and threaten a biological woman because he doesn’t want biological males entering the women’s bathroom to harass and threaten biological women. Dumb redneck stared into the abyss and it stared back, as it always does. Congrats, dickhead. You are the thing you claim to hate.
But then we have this shit:
Dani Davis, who is queer, took to social media on March 24 and wrote a post about what she said happened while she was at work. The incident occurred on March 14 at the Walmart in Lake City, Florida. She noted she was a nearly seven-year employee of Walmart and holds several other part-time jobs, including the “joy and privilege" of tutoring "special-needs children as requested,” describing herself as a hard worker who has never been in trouble.
How many more reminders do we need that Capitalism hates us and our employers don’t even see us as human? A person should not have to work “several part-time jobs”, one of which is with the biggest private employer on earth, just to get by.
Does anyone else remember the ‘Hey Mon’ sketch from ‘In Living Color’ about an immigrant family that all had like 10 jobs each? It was supposed to be a joke to have to work that much to make ends meet. We weren’t supposed to make it a reality for everyone.
I hate this world.
One of the reasons bigotry like this spreads is that even supposedly well-meaning people use dogwhistles like “biological woman.”
Are people finally now realizing that transphobia affects cis people?? Even if you don’t declare yourself trans, but look any different than typically feminine or masculine, you’re a target for the folks who can “always tell”. It goes without saying that these people are unimaginably idiotic.
Are people finally now realizing that transphobia affects cis people??
Same for homophobia. Sadly, some folks don’t realize until it happens to themselves or to someone they care about.
Hopefully, these stories will help wake some people up to that reality before that happens.
I am a straight man. I have lived as a straight man all my life. I have only been with women.
Yet, I was somehow bullied for being gay in high school until I just dropped out. I mean, there was more to it than that, but that was the reason I vomited when I seen the school sign.
I had a similar experience as yours. . .
May the bastards that wronged us stub their toes weekly, may both sides of their pillow be warm, may their tires find every sharp object on the road.
May their socks always be damp. May their steering wheel always be vaguely sticky. May they never find parking.
Step 1) Sue Walmart. Step 2) Retire in Europe.
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
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
and yet again its not a trans woman invading a bathroom with ill intent.
its a right wing conservative man who invaded a bathroom with ill intent.
Every accusation is a confession.
Yep.
Makes you wonder, after pizzagate, where they’re underground child sex dungeon is… Since they were so emphatic on pointing the finger at liberals and gays and accusing them of such a thing.
It was Epstein’s island.
It doesn’t really matter if she is trans or not IMO. nobody deserves to be treated like that.
It does demonstrate the truism that transphobia doesn’t only harm trans people.
That’s the whole point. Any woman who doesn’t conform to the traditional stereotype can be targeted. This is in no way accidental.
Even traditionally feminine western women. They can just point to a minor detail like a wider mandible, a bit of hair on the upper lip or arms, a more developed Adam’s apple, etc.
True, but it shows how even non-trans people are harmed by anti-trans hysteria and fear-mongering. Just like how even men are harmed by misogynistic policies and discrimination. Trans rights are human rights.
It bares repeating, transphobia hurts cisgender people and transgender people.
When you’re so committed to “protecting women’s spaces” that you go into a women’s restroom to harass a woman.
“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.
So to protect cis women, he is threatening and scaring cis women.
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
“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.
Why was the man who was threatened by her in the women’s room?
Obviously he was just there to make sure everyone using the women’s restroom had and honest, God-given pussy.
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 ™.
