Radical ‘Trans Day of Vengeance’ Canceled Due to Potential Violence

'This threat is the direct result of the flood of raw hatred directed toward the trans community after the Tennessee shooting...'

(Corine GattiHeadline USA) Facing immense backlash in the wake of Monday’s school massacre, an Antifa-linked transgender terrorist group was forced to cancel a potentially violent protest at the U.S. Supreme Court next week, the Daily Caller reported.

Audrey Hale, 28, a biological woman who identified as a transgender man, killed three children and three adults at a Christian elementary school in Nashville, Tenn.

But radical LGBT activist groups like the Trans Radical Activist Network and Our Rights DC, wanted to continue their scheduled protests under the banner of a “Trans Day of Vengeance,” even after the shootings compelled conservatives on social media and elsewhere to respond.

The demonstrations—which were to take place in Washington, D.C., from Friday to Sunday—were scheduled before the shootings to voice concerns about restricting “gender-affirming” care in red states, TRAN said.

Initially, organizers announced that they planned to proceed, but in a turn of events Thursday they announced via Twitter that they were canceling the event out of concern for their own well-being.

“The safety of our trans community is first priority,” organizers wrote on social media. “This threat is the direct result of the flood of raw hatred directed toward the trans community after the Tennessee shooting.”

The groups insisted there was no connection between the attack targeting Christians in Nashville and the Washington, D.C., protest.

They also complained that linking the “Day of Vengeance” to an actual act of transgender violence would have a chilling effect on the entire trans community’s sense of validation and self-worth.

“We are fighting against false narratives, criminalization, and eradication of our existence,” a press release from TRAN noted.

Twitter, meanwhile, outraged both the Right and Left by censoring tweets that showed a poster promoting the “Trans Day of Vengeance.” 

“We do not support tweets that incite violence irrespective of who posts them,” tweeted Ella Irwin, Twitter’s trust and safety head.

“‘Vengeance’ does not imply peaceful protest,” Irwin continued. “Organizing or support for peaceful protests is ok.”

Trans-rights activists claimed the phrase was a meme.
