Too bad the world has been robbed of you ever having a chance to have that dialog with Kirk and prove him wrong. He would have welcomed such an exchange.
Yes, I imagine he would have. I called the transgender friend I mentioned in my post today. She knew Charlie well. They debated, disagreed, but parted amicably and respectfully. She is brokenhearted right now. She is otherwise thriving personally and professionally, having transitioned later in life. I cannot overstate how important it is to take the time to make friends in this community. These issues are no longer abstract political/cultural controversies. They are stories of friends. It does not require we change our minds. It just provides a more accurate, healthy picture of the neighbors we might disagree with.
