Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., demanded Elon Musk "restore" her account after it was restricted on Tuesday.
Greene and other right-wingers launched anti-trans attacks after a shooter that police said was transgender killed six people, including three children, at the Covenant School, a private Christian school in Nashville. The far-right has since seized on reports from Fox News and other outlets that trans activists are planning a "TransDay of Vengeance" on April 1, an event that was apparently promoted before the Nashville attack.
The event appears to have been promoted by Our Rights DC, a group that has a little more than 1,000 followers on Twitter, according to The Hill. "The Trans Day of Vengeance event about which Greene shared information is a spin on Trans Day of Visibility, which takes place on March 31 every year, and is being planned by Trans Radical Activist Network (TRAN), a new trans-led nationwide activist movement," according to the LGBTQ+ rights outlet Them. TRAN disavowed the event, stressing that "we don't encourage violence."

Greene on Twitter baselessly claimed that "antifa" was organizing the alleged event. Greene repeatedly reposted a purported poster for the event while complaining about Twitter's actions to remove it. She said her account was ultimately suspended.
