I don't believe in consistency

But suppose the problem is not that simple. First, pulling the lever will most certainly kill the man but it will not guarantee the survival of Earth. In fact, the chance Earth will be saved is slim, and many of those 8 billion will die in the process. You are the trolley operator. Do you pull the lever?

It still isn’t that simple. The man tied to the other track isn’t tied down at all, in fact he does not know he is part of the dilemma. You will have to tie him down yourself. You are the trolley operator. Do you pull the lever?

But wait, there’s something you are forgetting. The man you must tie down and murder is your second in command, your best friend, your platonic soulmate. You love him. You know he will refuse to be the sacrifice. You watch as he begs and pleads for another way, betrayal in his eyes. He writhes as you give the command to sedate him, and prepare to tie him to the tracks. He goes limp, and you do not cry. He will hate you for the rest of his short life, and you will deserve it. Even so, you know you are doing the right thing.

So, this would apply to genderqueer and trans ppl as loving themselves and their bodies the way they are

And to aros & aces as "love that isn't sexual/romantic is just as valid"

And while I do like this take, it feels like an excuse. Like, this wasn't the original intention and now new meaning is being derived from it in a "this is what we meant all along" way.

Whenever I see "love is love" it kinda just reminds me how aros and aces are still fighting for recognition within the queer community, and that we're not fully accepted there. and that the rest of society doesn't even really know we exist

Cabin 3 - Poseidon: the god of the seas, storms, earthquakes, droughts, vegetation, and navigation. I think it’s very funny to think about a son of Poseidon writing a paper about how water isn’t required for life. But other than that, navigation. He navigates the shit out of the Hail Mary’s route. I know technically cabin 3 only has expertise in naval navigation but yk.

Cabin 4 - Demeter: the goddess of agriculture, the Earth, and the seasons. Yeah. He’s the guy who kept the Earth from a mass extinction event. Makes sense to me.

Cabin 6 - Athena: the goddess of wisdom, intelligence, civilization, mathematics, strategy, and defensive warfare. We know he’s smart so. I feel like this is a given. But also math!! Bro was doing math before he remembered his name because gravity pissed him off.

Cabin 7 - Apollo: the god of the sun, medicine, plague, music, reason, knowledge, and is known to be the protector of the young. This is my personal favorite for this au(?) Like. He keeps the sun from dimming wtf. The dude has a doctorate so that also gets the reason and knowledge part down. With the music part, his best friend literally speaks in music notes. If he was the son of Apollo, I’d bet that would mean he’d catch onto Eridian language faster and I like the idea of that. I know his petty ass would love to give Dr. Staggering Waste of Carbon a common cold. Also protector of the young!! He loves kids and comes back to the project to protect them from the apocalypse.

Cabin 10 - Aphrodite: the goddess of love, beauty, desire, war, navigation, and passion. Aro/ace children of Aphrodite are cool as fuck. Additionally, he’s a very charming guy. People like him. In a friendly way and in romantic ways. Also navigation again! This isn’t only naval navigation so it fits even better. He’s very passionate about his opinions too.

Cabin 11 - Hermes: the god of travelers, speed, cunning, wit, and alchemy. He’s been places. To other planets and solar systems. If that’s not a traveler idk what is. And. That’s it, really. He’s smart, but not really cunning. I just thought the traveler bit was cool.

Cabin 14 - Iris: the goddess of rainbows, peace, awe, happiness, and communication. Remember that scene from the movie when he’s pinned to the ground looking up at the rainbow? Yeah. That. But also, he is in awe of so many things, like how astrophage functions, Eridian biology, and life in general. I like the communication aspect as well because he was the first person to converse with intelligent alien life.

Cabin 15 - Hypnos: the god of sleep and memories. This is only on this list because I find it funny. Yk. Because he was in a coma for four years and lost his memory. (Okay it’s not that funny at all, but it’s amusing enough to me to not remove this bullet point.)

The Other Option. He’s fully mortal, but can see through the mist. I think this would lead to him trying to help any demigod kids he comes across.

And body autonomy does include things that you don’t personally like either. I was prompted to write this post after a series of bad takes from progressives, but one of them was re-hashing the Sabrina Carpenter album cover drama with “I don’t think it’s conservative of me to think that the album cover is a bad look when we’ve seen images of women being abused in this way” because I do actually think you’ve failed to understand feminism by projecting your morals onto a woman who was consensually expressing her own autonomy just because she expressed it in a way that you didn’t like or that made you uncomfortable.

Body autonomy also means unhealthy choices. Body autonomy also means regret rates. Body autonomy also means freedom of sexuality. Body autonomy also means mutilation. If you believe body autonomy has limitations and exceptions, then your feminism is most likely surface level.

"Hot" because this is seldom spoken about, but "incredibly obvious" because, duh, of course it's about autonomy

Feminism has always been a fight for freedom. Freedom to vote, to file for divorce, to work, to get justice for being abused, to dress how we want, to have control over our lives

It didn't matter what others thought about the choices made with those freedoms. The point was to be able to choose. If, for example, a woman decided to vote for an anti-feminist party, that is within her right, and feminism is about protecting that right

The same thing goes for body autonomy. If someone decides to use that autonomy to do something you disagree with... well, good. 'Cause if they even have the option to do that thing you disagree with, that means you've won the fight, and bodily autonomy is protected
