The Dangerous Intersection of Transphobia and Violence in Nashville.

Twitter has temporarily limited the official account of Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene after she made unfounded claims about the Nashville school shooting being a product of "Antifa" and "trans-terrorism." Greene accused Twitter of attempting to "whitewash the incitement of politically motivated violence" because it took down a previous post. Audrey Hale, the gunman in the Nashville shooting, was reportedly a transgender man who used he/him pronouns. Republican members of Congress and prominent far-right voices have seized on the fatal shooting to promote legislation targeting transgender people and bans on gender-affirming healthcare and attack trans people more broadly.
