Transgender activists are scrapping the “trans day of vengeance” protest days after they said the protest would continue as planned in the wake of the Nashville mass shooting by a transgender artist.

Our Rights DC, an activist group involved in scheduling the protest, released a statement on Thursday saying “this action is not happening due to [a] credible threat to life and safety.” The group planned the event alongside the Transgender Radical Activist Network (TRAN), which released a statement after the Nashville mass shooting that the protest would continue.

[They *are* the “credible threat to life and safety.” What did they expect us to think “vengeance” meant? At any rate, this is a belated recognition that the Nashville massacre — the fourth committed by a transgender perp in the past five years — has people scrutinizing the trans movement like never before. — Ed]
