One of the Guys
<p>AsI move through this life, I try to find reasons to be grateful. Even very dark times can have an upside, if you’re looking for it. For instance, the mass shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville — the 130th mass shooting in the United States in 2023, and <a href="https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass-shooting" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">the 37th mass shooting in March 2023 alone</a> — might look like a pure tragedy. Three adults and three children were killed, so, by any rational assessment, that is what it is.</p>
<p>I, however, choose to see the bright side: We’ve finally figured out how to make Republicans give a shit about mass shootings.</p>

<p>The school shooter in Nashville, who was killed by police at the scene of the crime, was described as “female” in certain early reports. Later coverage, based largely on scouring the alleged shooter’s social media presence, identified him as a 28-year-old trans man named Aiden Bray.</p>
