A transgender activist group is scheduled to hold a "Trans Day of Vengeance" outside the Supreme Court on Saturday, just days after a transgender individual opened fire on a Christian school, leaving three kids and three adults dead.

"The Time is Now. The Trans/Non-Binary/Gender Non-Conforming/Intersex communities are facing astronomical amounts of hate from the world," the Trans Radical Activist Network (TRAN) states on its website in its promotion of "#TransDay of Vengeance."

You know nothing about me. On what basis do you call me an incel?

Also that site looks like an elaborate april fools joke. I looked it up on redditsearch:

**one** comment in a trans subreddit.

Seems it's going on as planned...they are quite happy about it to. Not sure what you're reading there, I cannot correlate it anywhere online.

Pretty in-depth analysis here.

Dude, the Daily Mail is literally citing the same fake sources outlined in the mediamatters article.

You clearly didn't click the link.

Daily Mail took the bait too.

reply

Again, I cannot find a correlating story to the media matters one. Until they appear, I have to go with the more 'credible' source.

Regardless of the outcome, 6 people are dead and a shit ton of people are now ready to kill conservatives. Awesome.

Daily Mail is not remotely credible. The MediaMatters source also citates this.

How about the fact that there's no real evidence that the "transradicalactivistnetwork" has any footprint in any transcommunity online, and that the day, conveniently, happens to be April the 1st?

reply

People died and now fence sitting killers have maybe hopped off. Who cares if its a prank?

The mental health issue still persists.

The point is that if it is (and it seems it is), then it was not caused by the transcommunity.

The murders were. That's all that matters.

In what sense? Like what are we to take from that school shooting?

reply

Think about this... all it took for 6 people to die was a meme. That's a big problem for such a small demographic. The spotlight will now be on these people forever.

The memes came after the shooting happened. You have your timeline wrong.

And why isn't the spotlight on the far-right after the many far-right influenced shootings?

reply

Trans Day of Vengeance is a meme that has been around for years and yet these idiots are still moving forward with it after what has occurred.

'Trans Day of Vengeance' is not a specific day or a call for violence. It's a meme that's been around for years, a way of expressing anger and frustration about oppression and violence the trans community faces daily,"

reply

The website has been registered since 2022. It remained dormant with a generic trans-screed (and only one page) until after the shooting. It's a blatant hoax - nevermind it referencing **April the 1st**.

reply

None of its credible, notice my 'quotes'?? But, until the hoax reports overtake the other reports, and it will if its real...then you have to lean the other way to not believing any of it.

The world isn't black and white sir.

The Media Matters article is only 5 hours old. I have my doubts that Fox News will publish a retraction, funnily enough. Or the Daily Mail.

https://web.archive.org/web/20230715000000*/https://www.transradicalactivistnetwork.org/

Notably the site was mostly dormant until after the shooting. Funny that. Almost as if it was updated to push buttons.

reply

If Media Matters is correct, other outlets will pick it up and the truth will prevail. This is why censorship is stupid.

Mediamatters is a fake-news, anti-conservative, hate site. Only a retard cites them.

reply

Article from yesterday confirms it's real: https://www.newsweek.com/trans-day-vengeance-date-details-activists-choose-fight-1791451

reply

This article literally predates the media matter article and is using the exact same fake sources as it refers to. Please deal with the actual sources within the Media Matters article. It citates how it's literally a high concept scam.

reply

Complete and Utter retard. Doesn't even read my posts!

reply

It's the SAME repeating post using the SAME sources that Fox, Daily Mail used. The old 2020 picture resurfacing now and being used as 'evidence'. You clearly did not read the original post of this article.

reply

Almost all links and sources provided/cited by the OP are fake news.

reply

Liberals are experts at producing and spreading fake news but they suck at recognizing it for themselves. Poor little things.

reply

You do realise that this particular fake news seemed to fool Fox News and co, right?

reply

Tell me you're an idiot without using the word "idiot".

reply

How does this change the fact that Fox seem to have been duped?

reply

No one was duped except you so I will elaborate on my previous reply since it seems that you didn’t get it, as usual.

Regardless weather that particular picture was posted before or after the shooting doesn’t matter. What matters is that according to the trans community, they have an actual meme called “Trans Day of Vengeance” that has been around for years…both of those are facts and true according to them and others.

The picture used from your link and the original source that it cited was from an old 2020 huckmag-article, which again, makes no difference as there are other recent pictures/videos floating around by other trans gun-trotting activists such as Kayla Denker which was posted on YT weeks before the TN shooting, posing with guns and had been visited by the FBI.
Sources and links already provided by others on this post.

So in summary and based on your link with the cited sources used, that is an actual meme that has been around for years and someone tagged it with a picture from 2020 after the shooting. Anyone can call it a hoax, but it doesn’t change the facts that all three are real…the pictures, the meme, and amount of time their meme has been around. I could take the pictures/videos from KD and tag their meme with them and then call it a hoax, but it doesn’t change the fact that everything I posted about it are real and true regardless of whether I did it before or after a violent incident.

But trans activists were quick to point out that "trans day of vengeance" is a meme that has been around in the trans community for years

The armed transwoman picture is 3 years old. What does it have to do with anything?

And no, it seems to be a 4chan troll scheme. They do a lot of this.

Show me these pictures.

And don't white Republicans "pose with guns" all the time?

Memes can be hoaxes, you know. The terms aren't exclusive.

reply

Once again, you have failed to comprehend anything.
You simply glance, deflect, and redirect with off-topic nonsense and suppositions.

reply

What was off-topic here? I asked you to give me some new examples of transpeople posing with weapons menacingly, as in posted around March 27th.

The "Trans Radical Activist Network" site is dodgy as hell

reply

What would be the point since you only glance at everything.

I will re-quote myself:

"Sources and links already provided by others on this post."

reply

>"Sources and links already provided by others on this post."

They've just linked Daily Mail articles or other articles that literally *predate* the MediaMatters article.

reply

Yes, I'm aware, and that is one of the points I made but you clearly missed that since you only glanced without trying to understand "anything".

Did you read any of the links/sources provided by Satan2016?!
Apparently not, otherwise you would not keep going on about this.

Oh, and you should also try searching the quoted paragraph I provided about the meme.

reply

>Yes, I'm aware, and that is one of the points I made but you clearly missed that since you only glanced without trying to understand "anything".

I'm well aware of the Daily Mail. I'm British. They are not known for good journalism. MediaMatters was pointing out how the mass media was duped by what seemed to be a long-con by 4chan members, only suddenly relevant due to the trans mass shooting.

>Did you read any of the links/sources provided by Satan2016?!

Does one person now speak for the entirety of the trans-community? Kayla Denker has about 80 followers on Instagram.

>Oh, and you should also try searching the quoted paragraph I provided about the meme.

You know memes are memes right. What is it you think "meme" actually means?

reply

Yes, I'm aware that you are British but that does not excuse your level of obtuseness and failure to understand anything by anyone on this forum because you are too quick to dismiss everything by supplanting it with your own deflective theories, rhetorics, and misguided conclusions.

There you go again, jumping all over the place and making more preposterous conclusions and nonsensical hypothetical suppositions.

Yes, but I'm referring specifically to the claim made by the trans community and others.

reply

>Yes, I'm aware that you are British but that does not excuse your level of obtrusiveness and failure to understand anything by anyone on this forum because you are too quick to dismiss everything by supplanting it with your own deflective theories, rhetorics, and misguided conclusions.

I was noting that I'm well aware of the Daily Mails shit assumptions.

>There you go again, jumping all over the place and making more preposterous conclusions and nonsensical hypothetical suppositions.

So what does Kayla Denker have to do with anything?

>Yes, but I'm referring specifically to the claim made by the trans community and others.

There's no real evidence that it really originates from the trans-community.

reply

You clearly have a condition and you should seek psychological aid.

reply

You seem to think that Kayla Denker here is somehow relevant to the wider trans-community, so I'm wondering why.

reply

Kayla doesn't look like a woman!

FBI probes ‘harassers’ as gun-toting trans activist vows ‘self-defense’
https://nypost.com/2023/03/30/fbi-probes-harassers-as-gun-toting-trans-activist-vows-self-defense/

Weeks before Audrey Hale gunned down six people at a private Christian school in Nashville, Kayla Denker had a stern warning for any “transphobes” with sinister ideas.

Denker, a transgender activist who runs a YouTube channel with 700 subscribers, loaded rounds into an AR-style rifle while staring into the camera during the clip, which went viral in the aftermath of Monday’s massacre at The Covenant School, where Hale, 28, fatally shot three students and three adults before being killed by responding cops.

“While advocating just for trans people to ‘arm ourselves’ is not any kind of a solution to the genocide we are facing, I do want to say that if you transphobes do try to come for me I’m ta … ,” Denker captioned the clip, which led to instant blowback online, including calls for authorities in Colorado to investigate.

reply

This does not really look like a credible source

reply

Why is this not a credible source? Specifically what makes that site uncredible?

reply

It's just making claims. Where is it sourcing its information from?

The quote "credible threat to life and safety" is just sourced back to that thoroughly dodgy website I talked about in here which seems completely invisible to the wider trans community.

reply

Interesting theory. Where is 4chan sourcing its information from? Is 4chan known for credible news sources? Please provide specific details. Thanks.

reply

What? Did you read the media matter website? It did google image reverse search, and checked on the accounts that posted these "trans day of vengeance" stuff and traced them back to 4chan boards. One picture of an armed transperson seemed to be from 2020, not 2023.

As for the "Trans Radical Activist Network" site. It began to exist in 2022. A splash page was all that was there until March the 28th, a day after the shooting when it suddenly became some fully fledged website. I can find nothing from any trans-community that references this website.

reply

If you Google "trans day of vengeance cancelled" you will see that there are 100's of websites saying the event was cancelled. Are you saying all these sites are spreading fake news?

#TransDayOfVengeance is real.

What is your source that it was created in 2022? Please provide specifics.

A simple Google search will reveal you got rickrolled by 4chan.

reply

>If you Google "trans day of vengeance cancelled" you will see that there are 100's of websites saying the event was cancelled. Are you saying all these sites are spreading fake news?

So? They're all just echoing each other. All they're doing is reporting the site update from the "Trans Radical activist network" site. A site that has zero traffic in the trans-community, from what I can tell.

>#TransDayOfVengeance is real.

In the sense that it is a hashtag. All hashtags are real. No reason to think that it has any mileage in actual transcommunities.

>A simple Google search will reveal you got rickrolled by 4chan.

This makes no sense. If I am wrong, what would that have to do with 4chan?

reply

So basically anything and everything is fake except for 4chan? Thats good to know.

Bruh, you got rickrolled by 4chan. lol

reply

>So basically anything and everything is fake except for 4chan? Thats good to know.

Give me a media source that does some proper independent research into the "day-of-vengeance" thing without just lazily falling into the same reporting errors as outlined by Media matters.

And, incidentally, is this not the claim advanced by essentially everyone here about all 'mainstream media' whenever they report about Trump, or the Republicans?

>Bruh, you got rickrolled by 4chan. lol

This makes no sense.

reply

Didn't Media Matters just echo what they read on 4chan? Where did 4chan get that information that TransDayOfVengeance is a hoax?

You realized the 4chan propaganda was fake and now you are trying to pretend it wasn't. Pretending you dont know what rickrolled means is even worse. I would delete your account and start over.

reply

LOL, good suggestion, but he also needs to seek psychological aid for his condition.

reply

>Didn't Media Matters just echo what they read on 4chan? Where did 4chan get that information that TransDayOfVengeance is a hoax?

Media Matters went and looked at the tweets that Tucker Carlson was referring to. They reverse image searched them, looked up the origin of the "Kill christcuck" account and sourced it to 4chan:

"The handle of the account, @TNDtracker, was a reference to a racist meme from 4chan called “Total N - - - - - Death,” or “TND.” And fitting with the account’s handle, the account’s activity before it was banned showed clearly racist activity targeting Black people. 4chan users even claimed in response to the tweet that “it’s a joke post” and the account’s handle showed “that’s one of us.”"

"The tweet itself, about “christcucks,” was, as noted by Know Your Meme, using language from 4chan that called “for the extermination of Black people through different means, including beheading, performing a roundhouse kick, crucifixion and defecation into their food.” Most of the tweet simply replaced the N-word with “christcuck.” (The “Kill, Behead, Roundhouse” phrase is now closely associated with the TND meme, as noted by Know Your Meme.) "

The picture was reverse image searched:

"Additionally, the image in the tweet is actually from a 2020 article from Huck Magazine about transgender people arming themselves. The article includes a photo of transgender woman and MMA fighter Alana McLaughlin, who is nicknamed “Lady Feral,” holding a gun. McLaughlin herself called out the account using her image, tweeting, “Another sock account trying to stir up anti-trans violence using my pictures. Please report.” (McLaughlin also confirmed to The Associated Press that she “didn’t author the post.”)"

There was research actually conducted here.

I am me, you are not. You therefore get no say over it is what I believe.

Can you find me some trans-community that actually takes this website (https://www.transradicalactivistnetwork.org/) seriously please?
