A Tennessee music venue is hosting a "Trans Day of Vengeance" concert just 
days after the one-year anniversary of the deadly shooting at The Covenant 
School, in which a transgender-identifying woman killed three children and 
three adults, apparently out of ideological fury.

A flyer promoted by several bands says that the Graveyard Gallery in 
Murfreesboro is hosting the concert on March 31, and using it to raise money 
for a group that provides gender reassignment surgery. The shooting occurred 
on March 27, 2023, at the Christian school in Nashville, less than an hour 
away.

The party comes with Nashville schools in high alert because of the potential 
for violence on the anniversary of the shooting. The shooting last year came 
as radical transgender activists rallied for a "Trans Day of Vengeance" on 
the same day that year, with the Trans Radical Activist Network (TRAN) 
saying, "The time is now, enough is enough."

President Joe Biden in 2021 recognized March 31 as the "Transgender Day of 
Visibility," which trans activists changed to "vengeance." Whether that Day 
of Vengeance may have spurred the timing of the child-killer's act is unknown 
because authorities have refused to release her manifesto.

The flyer for this year's event says "all proceeds will be donated to Point 
of Pride" and that the bands include Dumpster Pussy, Dru The Drifter + The 
Back Alley Hookers, Boy Clothes, Spinning Lodge, and the Oitakus. It says the 
event is presented by Boro Fondo, a "music, art, and bike fest" that is 
advertising the show and asking attendees to "bring new or used chest binders 
to donate to Point of Pride."

"Point of Pride mails gender affirming garments to trans and gender-diverse 
people who cannot afford or otherwise access them," a poster on Boro Fondo's 
Instagram page says. "Shipping is free. Point of Pride provides funding 
towards surgery, hormone replacement therapy, and permanent hair removal 
services."

Graveyard Gallery did not return requests for comment. Nor did Spinning Lodge 
or the Oitakus.

Boro Fondo told The Daily Wire that while its event calling for "vengeance" 
may "sound frightening," nobody associated with the event "is planning any 
actual violent acts."

"It does sound frightening, especially considering the tragic event from last 
year," it said in an email to the Daily Wire. "Our hearts go out to the 
affected families, and you'll find many trans people from TN denounced what 
this person did. However, it is merely a play on 'Trans Day of Visibility' 
which is the day on which the show is taking place."

"Our 'vengeance' is simply existing despite the immense adversity trans 
people face in Tennessee every day," it added. "We would like to stress that 
nobody associated with us is planning any actual violent acts."

TRAN's website for last year's event included violent rhetoric, quoting trans 
activist Sylvia Rivera who said, "I remember when someone threw a Molotov 
cocktail, I thought, 'My god, the revolution is here.'"

The 2023 event in Washington, D.C. was cancelled at the last minute -- not 
out of respect for the slain children, but because "the safety of our trans 
community is first priority" and there was a "flood of raw hatred directed 
towards the trans community after the Tennessee shooting."

Transgender activists aim to get "vengeance" for what they imagine is a 
"genocide" against them. However, that genocide does not exist, according to 
Department of Justice statistics.

Transgenders were the victims of 271 hate crimes in 2021, most of them minor, 
with the exception of two murders and two rapes. Seventy were "intimidation," 
and 37 were vandalism. Half of the offenders were black.

Based on the FBI data, a black person's chance of being the victim of a hate 
crime in a given year is 98 in a million, a Jewish person stands a 109 in a 
million chance. The likelihood of a transgender person is less than half of 
that, a rate similar to the one for Muslims.

Members of the Selected First Motorcycle Club join others in prayer at a 
makeshift memorial for victims of a shooting at the Covenant School campus, 
in Nashville, Tennessee, March 28, 2023. - A heavily armed former student 
killed three young children and three staff in what appeared to be a 
carefully planned attack at a private elementary school in Nashville on March 
27, 2023, before being shot dead by police. Chief of Police John Drake named 
the suspect as Audrey Hale, 28, who the officer later said identified as 
transgender.
The national TRAN group, which is not known to be affiliated with the 
Murfreesboro concert, was led by an individual who "came out as a lesbian at 
age 29 and as a transgender man at age 50," as well as another who said  
"What motivated me to start TRAN was the fact I was bullied to the point 
where I attempted to end my own life. The person that bullied me was a fellow 
member of the LGBTIA+."

The Virginia chapter was led by Bo Belotti, who once worked for Elizabeth 
Guzman, a Democrat Virginia state lawmaker.
