As a girl in sports, I was never asked for an affidavit stating that I was a girl, nor have I been asked for such a thing as the parent of girl children. What a bizarre idea.

Got it, thanks for replying. Speaking only for myself, to answer whether an outlet is old media or not, I’d think about whether there’s a print version and how long it has been a publication. The Atlantic has a print version and is (omg) 150+ years old, so I’d say it’s old media.
