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.

It doesn't really matter if she is trans or not IMO. nobody deserves to be treated like that.

Why was the man who was threatened by her in the women's room?

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.

Step 1) Sue Walmart. Step 2) Retire in Europe.

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.

“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.

It bares repeating, transphobia hurts cisgender people and transgender people.

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.

Why a man was in women's restroom?

This literally happened in the 1954 Lavender Scare. Coworkers could report you for being a "security risk" and you'd be fired because they assumed you were a lesbian.

It's why we have pride parades, to exercise that muscle and stamp out the fear of "otherness" in society.

1. I used to work for Wal-Mart, this doesn't surprise me. They actually tried to have me written up for using a women's room as a transgender woman and decided not to only because I pointed out that that would be discrimination under the law (Trump wasn't president at the time) My days with the company were pretty much numbered after that. They're not looking for workers, they're looking for slaves; anyone who thinks they have rights aren't slaves.

2. Isn't it obvious? The reason they want to criminalize transpeople, someone who's already an "invisible minority" is because any "Woke" behavior can be classified as "Trans" behavior... And anything the state doesn't like can be classified as "Woke", the Nazis actually did this by banning the teaching of any science and philosophy that was deemed to be too Jewish... Which was a net positive for the world for the sole reason of this meaning that Hitler never had the atomic bomb (He could have, but then he called the science behind it "Jewish Superstition masquerading as science." and ordered it halted)

So, she was fired because… some dude was wrong?

Our society really likes to shit on women all the time, doesn't it?

Transphobia rots the brain. The fact the store still fired her is insane. I hope she just takes them to court instead of taking her old job back.

I hope she retires after suing Walmart for millions.

once again: transphobia is just misogyny

Seems like a slam dunk lawsuit. I hope she wins.

"But you can always tell! They're so obvious!"

Not a shock that Rural Redneck Inc. has dipshits for managers, as the owners are some of the most unethical monsters ever bred in the capitalist culture of America.

a man who mistook her for transgender verbally threatened her in a women’s restroom

These are the men threatening your daughters and wives on women's restrooms

As people predicted, transphobia has affected cis people.

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.

omg let’s go after everybody that doesn’t fit some kind of white heteronormative cookie cutter idea of humanity

Redneck fuck should a been arrested for being in the ladies room to begin with. Pervert

If someone absolutely had to be fired over this, it's her supervisor for either not telling her to let a higher up know, or being a god dam supervisor and not reporting it up the chain themselves. WTF

Why did Walmart fire her for being attacked? Isn't that one if the easiest wrongful termination lawsuits ever?

So fragile and white...
