I couldn't believe that was actually true, so I looked it up and sure enough:

https://youtu.be/Latb4tOUG-0?t=1085

Apparently a bunch of real women in England were offended by being called
"bodies with vaginas" and "birthing people" by government officials. The troon
activists denigrated them as old fashioned and started calling them
'dinosaurs' for holding the view that dudes in dresses aren't actually women.
So in the tradition of persecuted groups everywhere, these women adopted the
dinosaur epithet and started using it as a badge of honor: wearing dinosaur
costumes at protests and putting the emoji in the their social media bios.

But the story as presented by NPR presented none of that background context
and only told the story from the perspective of troons who love dinosaurs and
purport to 'own' that emoji and that anyone who 'co-opts' it is a transphobe
and bigot. If you only listened to NPR's version, you'd come away with the
belief that the feminists are only using the image to hurt the troons'
feelings.

I can't believe something this stupid is even an issue among grown adults but
it is a prime example of how NPR's politics shape how they tell their stories
and present the news.

But that's okay because she doesn't get that $800K from capitalism. She gets
it from the government, which takes it from the citizens at gunpoint. That's
how she believe all money should be made.

I listen to NPR fairly often, but the only place I hear about
transphobes, polygenders, etc. is r.a.tv ...

Weird, 'cause I just posted a YouTube link here this very day in this
very thread to an NPR story that was all about alleged transphobes
'co-opting' dinosaur emojis.

I don't doubt that NPR has covered the concepts, at one time or another.
I'm questioning whether they're a consistent hotbed of promotion...

Depends on what you consider 'promotion'. Last week they were lauding
Biden's Dept of Education using Title IX to force colleges and universities
to further allow troons into womens' private spaces.

Title IX was literally passed into law in order to protect women. Yet
somehow, Joe Biden has managed to so mangle and distort that law so that
now its chief purpose is to let men invade their bathrooms, locker rooms,
and other private spaces. It's remarkable how idiotic, callous, and
regressive the so-called "progressive" ideology has become. Every
"progressive" victory simply cannibalizes its prior achievements.
