Story from a game of Cards Against Humanity I played last night
So, I went to a friend's house for a night of boardgames and drinking. Among new faces at the party was a transwoman who appeared to be in an early stage of her transition. She introduced herself with a female-sounding name, so I figured she/her/hers would be the best pronouns to use (it turned out to be the correct assumption).
So, during a game of Cards Against Humanity she drew a black card that read: "What gives me uncontrollable gas?"
I played as my white card: "Estrogen." Obviously, I had no idea where she was in her transition with regard to hormone therapy, so I thought maybe it could be interpreted as offensive. But I figured "This is a game for people who are going to hell, so I'm just going to play it and see what happens."
When she read it aloud, many an awkward laugh was had. Someone said, "dick move."
She picked it. :D
