A group of friends who have been hanging out for years found themselves in the midst of a heated debate when one of them started insisting that another member of the group might be transgender. The accused, who has always chosen female characters in video games, became increasingly uncomfortable with the situation and eventually snapped at the accuser. This led to a rift in the group, with some members accusing the gamer of being transphobic. Was their reaction justified, or did they cross a line?
