You're missing the point that Gemini is a client-server protocol. The
two ends are the client and the server; it's not like email or chat
where the two ends are clients with a server in between.

TLS is *not* broken – arguably, the CA system is broken, and it's very
broken if your employer or government can force you to accept them as a
CA, which is where TLS interception comes in. But Gemini does not rely
on the CA system.
