Transphobia and Gun Violence: The Nashville Tragedy

The Trans Radical Activist Network (TRAN) is organizing a "Trans Day of Vengeance" rally outside the US Supreme Court to protest against the passing of bills that restrict treatment for trans children. The rally was planned before the Nashville school shooting, which was carried out by a transgender shooter. Twitter deleted over 5,000 tweets featuring the event poster amid fears it was inciting violence, but TRAN insists the protest is about unity and not inciting violence. Critics have slammed the name of the protest, but TRAN rejected any connection between the rally and the shooting.
