Liam: Bruh, I found this old game my parents kept from the late-1900s. It’s called Guess Who. Wanna play?

Aidyn: An artifact! Bussin’!

[Liam and Aidyn select their mystery characters]

Aidyn: I’ll go first. Let’s see here… is your person cis-male or use he/him pronouns?

Liam: How could I possibly know their gender identity based on a photo, Aidyn?

[Aidyn’s face flashes embarrassment]

Aidyn: I’m sorry Liam, you’re absolutely right. Imma rephrase. Is your person male-presenting?

Liam: Yes, yes I believe so.

Liam: Ok, my turn. Is your person male-presenting?

Aidyn: No.

Liam: Ok, so they’re either female-presenting, gender creative, non-binary, gender fluid, agender, bigender, demigender — this is such a hard game!

Aidyn: IKR? I’ve got a good one. Does your person look like they’re the oppressor or the oppressed?

Liam: Yes or no questions only, Aidyn!

Aidyn: I’ll rephrase. Does your person benefit from white privilege?

Liam: Yes, definitely.

Liam: Does your person look like she did a thing?

Aidyn: Yes! And we love this for them!

Liam: Bangs! Great.

Aidyn: Does your person look like they would slide into my DMs?

Liam: Oh definitely, so cringe.

Liam: Does your person look like they would ask a stranger to take their photo?

Aidyn: YES!

Liam: So they’re old. OK, bet.

Aidyn: Hmmm OK does your person look like they’d dress up as someone’s culture for Halloween?

Liam: Yup, for sure.

Liam: Does your person look like they still say things like blindsighted, brainstorm, homeless, master bedroom, whitelist —

Aidyn: BRUH! You can’t say that!
