^Literally talking to anyone but trans women about this ban

Which is super sus considering they've got noted transfem activists and journalists in their roster as recently as March 30th:

But look at some other notable reporting on this topic from supposedly queer-friendly NPR. Note how frequently the discussion pivots from transfems to TME people. Note how the bans always focus on transfems but the "experts" are rarely transfem. Note how frequently we are minimized and dismissed as a tiny minority. Note how often economic impacts are discussed in lieu of the fact that this is just dehumanization plain and simple. And go through the other examples with these ideas in mind.

And on the rare occasion they actually talk to a trans girl in sports, they go on and on about how much she sucks at sports as some sort of "gotcha"

Once I dwindle my to-write list down, I am 100% writing a scene where Robert and Simon storm the Magnus Institute and Simon just decks Jonah and throws him out a window and now it’s the Feximal and Caldwell Institute for the Paranormal

Robert convinces Griffin Flaherty to visit with his husband and their company and the group actually embark on a quest to stop all the entity rituals- it’s not like Whyborne and Griffin haven’t done this already anyway. 

Christine, Iskander, Griffin, Persephone, and Maggie are all excited about this. Whyborne, of course, would rather die than leave Widdershins let alone see Simon again but alas, he’s forced to suffer 

Kiki’s Delivery Service: takes place in the regular world— albeit at some nebulous point in time— but also magic is real and witches are a thing. Witches exist in this world because it’s fun and we like them. It’s fantasy elements in a familiar setting— essentially urban or modern fantasy.

Porco Rosso: takes place in an extremely specific place and time and contains exactly one fantastical element— Marco’s pig head— which is never given an explanation and is never questioned as a biological impossibility. It’s clearly a metaphor and commentary on a real world issue but it’s also very much literal. This dude 100% has a pig head. No other mentions of magic are made. This is magical realism.
