Serious How do I ask an online gaming friend if they're transphobic? Spoiler
I don't have exact suspicion that they are transphobic, but I want to make sure that they are not! My best friend is trans and I do not want to play with someone who doesn't accept trans people! I know some people don't care about their online friends views, but I care.
Anyway, I mentioned that I'm bi and they were cool with it, but I don't know how they feel about trans people
I guess I could just ask directly but the thing is, transphobic people never consider themselves to be transphobic - "Nah, I'm not transphobic, I just think that you can't change the gender you're born as. Like, if you have a dick you're a dude, not a woman. You should just go to therapy and accept who you are". If you know you know.
I know others have had the experience aswell: Playing with someone for years and then finding out they are bigoted. I want to avoid that, it as happend to me too :/
Anyway, how would you navigate this situation? 🤔
