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.

Why a man was in women's restroom?

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 76 points 2 weeks ago

making sure there are no "biological males" stalking and harassing "biological females"... by stalking and harassing them himself. every accusation is a confession.

They think it’s okay on the off chance that they can terrorize a trans woman.

This is the woman who popularized the “adult human female” slogan that transphobes pretending to be feminist love so much.

Shaun had an entire video about her

[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Yes. It’s an amazing video, as every single video he’s made is - most TERFs use the same rhetorical strategies, and knowing how Posie Parker’s brain works teaches you a lot about how the TERF brain works. It’s conspiratorial delusions (trans women are hiding every where in secret to try to sexually assault cis women, big pharma is pushing people to become permanent patients, therapists hate butch lesbians and masculine women so much that they tell them they have to be men) which they are attempt to use to explain their generalized sense of fear and anxiety.

They aren’t the Serena Joy’s but the “feminist” orgs who teamed up with her. Everyone forgets one of the lessons of Handmaid’s Tale - anti porn feminists teaming up with conservatives are what start the ball rolling. (A lot of TERF bloggers celebrate state porn id laws without realizing that lesbianism in itself will be considered pornographic).

He was inspecting it, like trump inspected the changing rooms of miss teen usa.

why does anyone care who's pissing where? are you a child?

[-] michaelmrose@lemmy.world 67 points 2 weeks ago

Because he was harassing women in the bathroom. He is literally what people like him, the right, say they are worried about. To reiterate a man entered the women's restroom to harass a woman because he erroneously believed she was in his opinion a man in a woman's restroom.

the whole distinction between men's and women's bathrooms is absurd. there's no bath in there. piss, shit, wash your hands, get out. puke if you gotta. in theory it's a sanitary place. oh dear, a man was being a creep. shout it out, don't be a weirdo monster in the place where people do business

[-] michaelmrose@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yes bathrooms should just be unisex. American's are complete morons about bathrooms.

[-] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

As an American idiot, I have been clamoring and hollering for sane bathroom situations since I was a teenager. I didn’t graduate from anywhere, they mostly just told me, why are you still here? I managed to drop out, misbehave a fuck ton and graduate early and decent behavior towards all was sorta the obvious part

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

Or possibly a cat. Or a dog. Or one of the many other animals that really care about pissing spots.

Genitals

Obsession

Party

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

If he was there to void himself, wash his hands, or check his grooming or anything else that one would consider an intended purpose of restrooms I would agree (except for the hypocricy)

However not only was he not in there to do any of that, he was in there to engage in hostility towards people who were in there to do that. And beyond that, he did so in a hypocritical way.
