The worldwide online retailer amazon.com seems to have removed t-shirts that state “Trans Rights or Else” alongside the images of four rifles coloured in pink, white, and baby blue, which are the colours of the transgender flag.
A queer Twitter user @aphexindividual who describes thereself as a 25 year old queer nonbinary run-wielding ideologue, has posted that Amazon is removing their gun and transgender rights clothing line from the amazon.com shopping website.
One of @aphexindividual follow-up tweets accused Amazon of a “double standards” and wondered if the online retailer would continue censoring other similar gun and political products and clothing.
Another commenter also pointed out that Amazon has plenty of pro-gun shirts mentioning the 2nd Amendment or featuring the American flag. Amazon also offers other apparel supporting former Republican President Donald Trump, even though Trump incited a violent insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Twitter’s Vice President of Trust and Safety said that Twitter had removed over 5,000 images of a poster advertising a (now) canceled protest entitled “Trans Day of Vengeance” because the image could “incite violence.”
The protest’s organising group, the Trans Radical Activist Network, said that the event was neither a call to violence nor related to Monday’s shooting but rather a demonstration against legislation and hate speech that threatens the safety and well-being of transgender people.
