   A transgender activist group has called off its planned Trans Day of   
   Vengeance rally in Washington, DC on Saturday due to a “credible threat to   
   life and safety.”   
      
   The Trans Radical Activist Network (TRAN), which organized the rally,   
   announced Thursday that the threats were sparked by social media reactions   
   to the name of the previously scheduled demonstration outside US Supreme   
   Court.   
      
   The April 1 protest was planned weeks before Audrey Hale — who is   
   transgender — gunned down three 9-year-old students and three adults in a   
   private Nashville grammar school.   
      
   “The safety of our trans community is first priority. This threat is the   
   direct result of the flood of raw hatred directed toward the trans   
   community after the Tennessee shooting,” the coalition said on social   
   media.   
      
   “Individuals who had nothing to with that heinous act have been subjected   
   to highly serious threats and blamed only because of their gender   
   identity. This is one of the steps in genocide, and we will continue our   
   efforts to protect trans lives.”   
      
   The name of the group’s protest sparked outrage following the massacre,   
   including from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) who claimed Trans Day   
   of Vengeance represented the “threat of Antifa-driven trans-terrorism.”   
      
   Twitter removed thousands of tweets that promoted the event because   
   “Vengeance’ does not imply peaceful protest.”   
      
   Groups associated with TRAN also briefly lost access to their accounts   
   until they willingly removed the event posters, Our Rights DC said.   
      
   Despite the rally’s misleading name, Trans Day of Vengeance is a meme that   
   has been used by the trans community for years and was never intended to   
   encourage further violence, TRAN insisted.   
      
   “This protest is about unity, not inciting violence. TRAN does not   
   encourage violence and it is not welcome at this event,” the group said on   
   its website.   
      
   TRAN anticipates hosting another rally in the future “with a better   
   theme.”
