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 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.

      I tried to study the stupidity in this and I got 3 PhDs and an MBA while trying, but still can’t.
