      Intentionally goading my chud opponent into misgendering me for a technical win

      wait does being trans actually give me an advantage against certain opponents now? lol

        It’d be a bit of a double edged sword - pilot your deck perfectly and win, but then everyone will credit your win to your opponent getting tilted.

          “I lost a match because I misgendered my opponent by accident*!”

          *might not have been an accident

        One of the core parts of most my decks is fucking with players who are being assholes or are way too invested in winning. Mind games are for real I’d call this an edge over some people yeah, even if you’re not going for a full technical win with it we can still cause mental overhead

    And chess federation’s justification was “trans women are not allowed because they are actually men, and men are superior to women, therefore it would not be fair for female players to play against them”

    I have played just about every popular tcg/ccg I can think of and my order of most->least friendly to women/trans/gnc individuals, I think, goes like this:

    Pokemon=Digimon->Magic=Flesh & Blood->Yugioh

    I don’t know what it is about the yugis that gets all the wacked-out incels but boy howdy do they got em. Though this is in general always dependent on your local scene, and mine was always very good about this stuff in every game (ain’t none of them masking for covid anymore tho so fuck me I guess). I will give the game itself credit that it was definitely ahead of the curve on penalizing misgendering in organized play scenarios, if I remember correctly.
