Kayla Denker: Gun-toting trans activist supports 'day of vengeance' after Nashville school shooting
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE: Kayla Denker, a militant transgender activist who has quickly emerged as one of the most well-known faces of the extreme movement, is reportedly a former soldier. Denker, a resident of Colorado, was one of many who right away uploaded a very provocative video on the internet showing herself holding an assault rifle.
Following the Nashville school massacre, Denker, who maintains a YouTube channel with films on Marxism and firearms, posted a video of herself holding an assault rifle. The Nashville attacker, Audrey Hale, 28, was identified by police as transgender and appeared to identify as Aiden online, despite the fact that the authorities still refer to her as a woman. Police claimed that the transgender community has been deeply divided over Hale's murder of three nine-year-olds and three staff members at a Christian school she attended and may have hated. Extremists and fringe organizations claimed that the shooting was partially caused by the mistreatment of trans people, despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of people condemned the attack.

Denker says nothing in the TikTok video while addressing the camera and loading her assault rifle numerous times, according to DailyMail. The caption for the video read, "While advocating just for trans people to 'arm ourselves' is not any kind of solution to the genocide we are facing, I do want to say that if you transphobes do try to come for me..."

The majority of Denker's social media accounts are now private. Her YouTube page, which she started in 2016, is one account that is still visible to everyone. Guns are the subject of Denker's most recent videos. In March 2021, she published a video titled "High-Powered Rifles and Why the AR-15 Is Not One," in which a man who appeared to be named Adam discussed firearms.
Denker published a video of the same man in July 2021 with the caption, "What gear you should get as a beginning shooter." It's not known if the man in those videos was Danker before her transition.
Why are trans people uploading footage of holding guns?
Denker's TikTok video appeared as trans activists around the nation organized their support for a 'Trans Day of Vengeance' and donated money for firearms training. Since then, two additional trans activists have uploaded videos and pictures of themselves brandishing firearms, seemingly in response to the shooting in Nashville, according to DailyMail.
One of the activists said she plans to use the weapon for "protection" against "transphobes" who target them. Activists are urged to "bring a buddy" and don a mask to the rally outside the Supreme Court in Washington, DC, which is being billed as retaliation for a trans genocide.
