Denker’s YouTube channel features a number of videos glorifying communism, but the majority of the uploads focus on firearms and related training.
Following the mass shooting in Nashville, Tennessee on Monday, militant transgender activist Kayla Denker posted a video to social media in which an AR-15 is loaded as Denker silently looks into the camera. The video garnered criticism from many, as a "Trans Day of Vengeance" had been planned for April 1 in Washington, DC. That event was later cancelled over "threats."
Denker, who is believed to be ex-military, has a long history of working to get the far-left to embrace gun culture, and in recent years has advocated for firearms training for transgender people. The Nashville shooting, which was perpetrated by trans-identifying 28-year-old female Audrey Hale, has led to fears that the transgender movement is becoming increasingly violent.
The clip in question has been viewed over 2.5 million times since being posted on Tuesday.
"While advocating just for trans people to 'arm ourselves' is not any kind of solution to the genocide we are facing," Denker said in the caption, "I do want to say that if you transphobes do try to come for me..." The end of the sentence was cropped out in the clip shared on Twitter, and Denker has since locked all accounts.
According to the Daily Mail, however, Denker's YouTube channel is still open for all to see. It features a number of videos glorifying communism, but the majority of the uploads focus on firearms and related training.
Uploads from 2021 show a man named Adam, believed to be Kayla pre-transition, discussing various gun-related topics and encouraging the far-left to purchase weapons.

As the Post Millennial's Andy Ngo reports, one post on Denker's Instagram shows an Antifa patch on the side of Denker's combat gear, while another highlights Denker's adam's apple and call to fundraise to shave it down.
Denker's militant sentiments have been shared by other groups prepping the far-left for Saturday's demonstration outside the Supreme Court, which was originally meant to be a "day of visibility" but altered to "vengeance" before the Nashville shooting took place.
In the days since, Twitter has taken to removing posts that depict the event's poster or other such violent content associated with the protest.

"We do not support tweets that incite violence irrespective of who posts them," Twitter's Ella Irwin explained. "'Vengeance' does not imply peaceful protest. Organizing or support for peaceful protests is ok."
