  • Step 1: Dramatically restrict who is allowed to volunteer for our volunteer miitary.

    Step 2: Bemoan that the US no longer has a standing military large enough to support its interests.

    Step 3: Here comes the draft again.

    Step 4: Wait a bit and all your undesirables age out or are driven out of the military.

    Step 5: Well I’m not sure about this one, but you’ve got a big army full of the only people you really want to have any power, personal autonomy, or decent standard of living anyway; I’m sure you can find something to do with it.











  • If it were easy we wouldn’t need lawyers.

    Edit: Yeah, no one would believe this caused emotional distress. /s

    Around 8 p.m. on March 14, she wrote that she was alone in a stall in the women’s restroom when she heard a man yelling.

    “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.

    “I was the only one in there so it seemed pretty clear that he saw me enter the restroom and he assumed that I am trans because of my height,” Davis recalled. “It was terrifying and I wish no one else ever had an experience like that.”

    The man eventually left, and Davis was able to leave the restroom and return to her workstation.

    “My immediate supervisor came by and noticed that I was visibly shaken and emotional. After taking a few moments to calm myself down, I told her what had happened. I didn’t go home since it wasn’t long until my shift was done (10 p.m.),” Davis wrote. “Less than a week later, I was fired.”

    The reason given for her termination was that she did not report the incident to a salaried management employee and, therefore, created a security risk.

    “I took it to mean that I was the security risk because someone had mistaken me for trans,” Davis told the Washington Post.

    Davis said she was devastated. Because of the anti-LGBTQ+ climate in Florida, she had been planning on leaving the state. But now, she doesn’t know after losing the job.

    She appealed the termination through Walmart’s internal review process but was denied. She filed for unemployment insurance but also took her story to Facebook, where it soon went viral.
