The incident’s details led to comments about misogyny and transphobia.
One user exclaimed, “This is horrifying. trans women are being used as a scapegoat to try and enforce women looking a specific and limited way (petite, soft, etc).”
Another added, “Just your regular reminder that transmisogyny is just regular misogyny in a paper-thin disguise.”
Another user who said they had a degree in Employment Law called the incident discrimination, saying, “this is absolutely not only wrongful termination but discrimination.” The user explained, “You’re a cis gendered woman who was fired for being a risk of being misidentified as a trans woman. That is discrimination.”

On March 26, Davis shared an update on the story and added that she requested an open-door termination for a chance to appeal but was informed by the store’s lead that management won’t allow the decision to be reversed.
“I also tried to report the incident itself to the Walmart’s ethics line, but they didn’t listen and hung up on me,” Davis said.
