says it has removed thousands of tweets showing a poster promoting a "trans day of vengeance" protest in support of transgender rights in Washington, D.C., on Saturday.Wednesday that the company automatically removed more than 5,000 tweets and retweets of a poster promoting the event.
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 and is not a call to violence — and said Twitter is misguided in its reasoning behind removing the tweets in support of the protest. The poster in question is a largely text-based digital flyer. It reads "we want more than visibility" on top, followed by "trans day of vengeance" and "stop trans genocide" as well as the date and time of the planned protest.Many of the tweets Twitter removed were from conservative users sharing an image of the flyer in an attempt to connect the planned protests with the recent school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee.
