Yeah that's fair. I don't quite know why I read that the way I did, but I read the "choosing" as "lives there and isn't actively attempting to move".

And therefore you are

.... do you just expect everybody who lives there to pack up and leave? Even though their entire lives might be there and moving costs a ton?

Wait is she just pumping King's magic with every glyph? Damn poor guy must be exhausted lol

But there's no "biological" reason for that. In the same way, skirts/dresses being for women and suits/ties being for men, leg hair, haircuts, voice, mannerisms, emotional availability, all get tied one gender or another.

We, in our society, have associated some properties to one of two genders. Some of these properties tend to be associated to one sex (sex being a more "biological" thing (but still not binary or unchangeable!)), but many of them are just expectations we put upon people. This is what "gender is a social construct" means; that the general understanding and intuition about gender is constructed by the society in which we live. Different societies may have more than 2 genders or completely different sets of associations.

Unfortunately these categorizations are bad for a significant portion of the population, including trans people, gender non-confirming people, but even cishet people; how many times have you heard of some act making you "not a real man" (eg crying for a movie)?

So like... is she not gonna question the horn? Girl's got her priorities in some kind of way if she falls in love with the first guy she sees (who also has a horn) after waking up in an unknown location

.... The root of the thread you're replying's main body is stuff JSO has actually achieved.

[–] Sekoia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 months ago

Yeah fair enough, I didn't mean to contradict you, more add on to your comment

I'm assuming this is referring to JSO.

Beginning on 1 April, they carried out England-wide blockades of ten critical oil facilities, intending to cut off the supply of petrol to South East England.[33][34][35]

On 26 August, the group blocked seven petrol stations in Central London and vandalised fuel pumps. Forty-three people around London were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.

On 20 June, the protestors spray painted private jets at a private airfield at Stansted Airport. The group had been targeting a jet belonging to singer Taylor Swift, but could not locate it.[140]

Yes, a lot of their protests are "awareness" stuff (basically none of which do actual damage. Unlike oil, actually!). No, it's not just that. The UK isn't an active warzone so bombing stuff is slightly more difficult to justify.
