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:
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.
One of the reasons bigotry like this spreads is that even supposedly well-meaning people use dogwhistles like "biological woman."
Ohhhhh
None of this made much sense until then. This is why she was fired. Not capitalism or whatever bullshit you're talking about.
