Kirk’s last argument was the 2A shouldn’t apply to trans people b/c he accused them of being more dangerous. His opponent came with real data that empirically shows otherwise. Calling it a debate implies Kirk was there to be swayed. 872228328

TJENZ @tjenz.bsky.social · 15/06/2025Pancakes are an easy choice for breakfast. Tough choice on this morning’s album. Landed on Brian Wilson’s Smile. Thirty something years after starting the follow up to Pet Sounds, Brian finally released his vision of Smile. 110
