I don't understand the story, can someone explain? What I got is they try to track someone who was expelled for misrepresentation. Why? What is different today vs 30 years ago?

The organization first was male-only. A woman disguised herself as a man, and managed to join the organization. 18 months later, the organization stopped being male-only and would start accepting women to join too. The disguised woman undisguised herself, and the existing members got shocked enough that even if women were now allowed, they were so angry at her "deliberate deception" that she got kicked out regardless.

Now the organization wants to allow that same woman to join again, but they cannot find her apparently.

The irony of a bunch of magicians being angry at deception was lost on them it seems.
Phenomenal comment, this got a smile out of me.
