With the rampant increase of Anti LGBTQ+ hate crimes, speech and laws internationally, the LGBTQ community globally no longer feels safe.

We refuse to stand by while injustice against our community reigns.

Here we will organize, and discuss ways to make our voices heard!

While we will have discussions on political issues dealing with hate and bigotry AGAINST the LGBTQ+ community, please keep your comments respectful of ail parties.

Be better than how your enemies treat you.


  1. Respect the trans community

Respect the people who belong here. If you're confused what that means, here's a minor primer:

No asking to date trans people or otherwise meet up with them. No treating being transgender as a mental illness or as being lesser in any way. No arguing with trans people about their identity. No arguing with trans people about their vulnerabilities, including anything related to sports, laws, etc. This includes anything else that the mod team deems disrespectful.


  1. Stay on topic!

Posts should be related to the defense, advocacy, and restoration of LGBTQ+ rights.

This Community is for news regarding, as well as the discussion of, anti LGBTQ+ laws, hate crimes, and propaganda.


  1. Bunnies are above the law

This isn't a rule but it shows you're paying attention to the rules. good for you!

She was fired for not reporting to a salaried manager. She reported it to her supervisor, but not the "manager". It is like they don't even have a chain of command.

I am so sick of these weaselly piece of shit corporations that shit on their workers for no reason. Right to work has to go away and we need real protections for all workers. These protections must be codified into law as unions are not enough anymore.

Why isn't Walmart protecting the victim?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 23 hours ago

Because Walmart and their Billionaire family never gave a shit about people.

Twice now I've had male security harass me. Once was a single occupancy porta potty.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

A portal potty sounds like a device that enables one to shit upon their own head.

At a Walmart or just in general? Because wtf.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

In general, my Walmart has the family restroom for single occupancy win

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 day ago

A male customer followed her into the restroom

Huh, almost seems like the hysteria that trans folk were doing it just to go into women's bathrooms was totally bullshit. Who could have possibly predicted that?

[–] [email protected] 78 points 1 day ago (2 children)

it is unbelievable to me that women are now more unsafe than they ever have been because of anti-trans hysteria. these people want to "protect women" but have only made a non-existent problem real. way to fucking go.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 1 day ago

It was never about protecting women. Just like it's never about "protecting the children".

It's about oppression.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago

This is why TERF mindset is self-defeating.

[–] [email protected] 88 points 1 day ago (1 children)

She should definitely sue them for every penny she can get, and the man who followed her into the ladies restroom and threatened to assault her should be arrested

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago

He did assault her. Assault is the threat of harm. He should be charged with it.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Oh hmm. It's almost as though we should let people peep and poop. Also, just pointing out, in this situation as in nearly all situations ever, it was not a trans woman but a cis man who did some shit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

"Peep and poop" is what this mouthbreather thought he was preventing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Haha yeah, I didn't think of it that way when I typed "peep", but you're right, that's the weird spectre or boogeyman they think they are preventing but instead become.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago

"The ~~Force~~ Projection is strong with this one."

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah it's super fucked that a cis man felt emboldened enough to enter a woman's restroom to verbally abuse a woman under the rhetoric about keeping men out of women's restrooms. It's so patently absurd. If this isn't enough to show that anti-trans rhetoric was never about keeping some women safe, I don't know what else it can take.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago

Yeah, it's absurd. It'd be funny if it weren't so grim

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 day ago

Yeah, us men need to man up and shut down that kind of shit behavior by our gender.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’m really not interested in who is peeing in the stall next to me.

In addition, now tall women are trans? My mother-in-law is 6ft 1in tall.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Tall

Big hands

Square jaw

Adam's apple

Basically any physical feature that the transphobes associate with masculinity/being male will get cis women accused of being trans.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hope she sues

I'm looking forward to this asshole appearing on /c/leopardsatemyface after a jury gives her a seven or eight figure settlement

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And the president gives him a presidential pardon

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Can't pardon a civil matter. Though, who knows how the government will work by then.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

I get the vibe that this guy is turned on by trans women. I have little doubt that he watches trans porn. He was power tripping

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sounds like someone higher up doesn't like the decision or doesn't like the bad publicity.

"Following the backlash, Newsweek shared that a Walmart spokesperson told the news outlet that they want their associates to feel safe and supported and won’t tolerate bullying or threats of violence against them. 

The spokesperson also said, “We’ve reviewed the situation and will be addressing it internally. We’ve also made multiple attempts to invite Ms. Davis to return to work, with back pay,” on March 27. "

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

It's the bad publicity. She said someone on their "ethics hotline" hung up on her when she tried to report it. Half the reasons these hotlines exist is to prevent lawsuits so you better believe those folks are trained up on what Walmart considers an issue.
