Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

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.

yes she is, which is why I LITERALLY USED HER AS MY ONE SPECIFIC EXAMPLE OH MY FUCKING GOD WILL YOU PLEASE READ WITH YOUR EYES AND REGISTER THE WORDS WITH YOUR BRAIN BEFORE YOU START TYPING JKR IS A MASSIVE FUCKING MISOGYNIST

So we're back to "you can't just call anything you don't like misogyny".

I truly don't understand your angle. There's plenty of actual misogyny to rage against without also appropriating the struggles of trans people.

first of all trans women are women, so misogyny affects them just the same. there's no appropriation here.

second of all, it's not "anything I don't like", she's a fucking misogynist. literally accused a woman, a cis woman at that, not that it matters to me but it ostensibly should to the likes of her, of being a man for looking a certain way. of course it doesn't matter to her though because she's a misogynistic cunt. even after knowing she was cis she didn't apologize or take back anything she said. she hates women.

I would say read her books but I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy so maybe listen to someone who has suffered through them and has something to say about her misogyny.

What is this All Lives Matter bullshit rofl

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

literally nothing to do with all lives matter. I haven't seen so many brain broken takes in a row in so long.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Or you might just be an idiot

Stop minimizing transphobia and misogyny both by equating them.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

that's not minimizing either. you're just taking offense for no reason. saying hotdog is a sandwich wouldn't take anything away from either term.
