1) 5 people saying something crazy isn't newsworthy.
To even report on it at all is a tactic of legitimizing
the insanity.

2) Another specific way this story seems to be seeking
to legitimize a very small minority of insane people is
by not reporting a solid rebuttal to the idea that not
dating a trans woman is akin to not dating a black person.
At the very least, an alleged Black website should point
out how ridiculous that is... but this is what happens
when so-called "Black media" is owned by white folks.
It's not ironic AT ALL that that was the first tweet listed
on the site either.
