Is this headline missing a few words? I am unclear what happened, even after reading the story. Some guy thought she was trans so she was fired? I feel like there is some missing information here.

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?
