Can we please use gender to discuss social differences and sex to discuss biological ones? It really well make this easier. It can be difficult to see people as having a different gender identity than one of the easily accessible binary options when we confuse gender and sex, but when we define them separately understanding becomes easier.

     Rabble checked over the stables, and found there were two horses besides his own. One was an old nag, and the other a workhorse, broad in the shoulders and slow to move. He had the only horse suited to any combat amongst the group. He found his quarters to be meaner than he would have expected. The Baron had maintained a few sets of nice clothes, a writing desk that looked to be infrequently used, a tattered looking bed, and a wash basin. The only documents in the quarters had been taken by Jongo previously. As he went around cataloguing his new belongings, any idlers set about cleaning the church, and successfully cleared away the old barricade.
     Orcus began to fade into the background, acting as little more than another body.
     Jongo found people working on cleaning up the church and tried to convince them to follow him into the forest to look for honey, but most of them seemed more content to clear rubble and tend the wounded than wander around and look for bees. The children, however, seemed to think it a great idea, and soon gathered around Jongo, pleading to be taken into the forest. He had a following of 3 young boys and a young girl, all of whom were more than willing to climb trees and poke around where they shouldn’t.


     Xaver made his way to the tavern and was surprised to see men were already gathered there. A large man stood in front and was delivering an impassioned speech about the fact that the peasants owned the contents of the castle. He seemed to imagine plentiful gold and food, all ripe for the taking. Apparently news of the Baron’s downfall had made it here, and these men were looking to capitalize on it by moving out of the village and taking the castle.


     Cortis immediately launched into a speech extolling the virtues of democracy, and promising a more permanent freedom from the likes of the tyrannical Baron. Over the shouts for cautious action by some, a loud roar of approval went up in the crowd, and Cortis found himself with quite the following. A small group formed around a local, David Herlon, a man who seemed mostly peeved about the proposed name change, stating loudly that it was silly nonsense and would get them nowhere. Of the men in the tavern Cortis seemed to hold 9 in sway, while David held a group of 4. Lork eyed this group suspiciously and did his best to appear intimidating, and the bluster was taken out of the man nearest to him, who actually appeared quite cowed. +1 Intimidation

Yeah, neonivek, I know we're talking about sex change operations changing sex, but some people have then said gender. If we can maintain our definitions it'll be easier to converse without talking past each other.

What you drew has needles. What you wanted has needles. I'd say you're right on track.

I'm with leafsnail. Think of it this way: you are using world to mean a particular space separated from other spaces by arbitrary boundaries. There are bound to be contradictions. We don't have to get into time stuff. You could just say: this space is black, this other space is white, there's a contradiction.

What the axiom actually relates to are metaphysically separate universes, where the boundary is defined by an inability for matter to exchange between the two.

((Can honor be spent as general political capital, say, to convince a tavern of people that they should submit to artfully renamed tyrannical despotism?))

((Yeah, I don't see why not.))
