No. I read it in context. Someone said can you imagine if a male athlete (that turned out to be trans) competed against women (which seems like a decent possibility since I guess maybe she should have done so) and then you said “can you imagine if this other male athlete turned out to be trans?”

Roldy (@alwaysroldy.bsky.social) reply parent
This is his reasoning, and it makes sense this way. If you took 2 million guns and locked them in a safe, they don’t kill anyone. If you give 1000 guns to a well adjusted person, it’s probably going to be fine. But he misses that it’s the gun that makes a depraved person deadly (deadlier).
Roldy (@alwaysroldy.bsky.social) reply parent
He disagrees with you though. So why should your wants for him override his wants for him? He doesn’t want to live in community. He doesn’t want to support the community. He doesn’t care if you live or die. So why should I take it on the chin to give him something he doesn’t want?
Roldy (@alwaysroldy.bsky.social) reply parent
I don’t know that he’s wrong but in many ways it’s an “intersectionality” problem. The problem is these depraved folks get guns (because guns are treated far too flippantly in this country!)
