Added some context to the "forgotten biological urges" issue


* DontShootTheMessage: The anime's message, that societies segregated by gender are ultimately undesirable, is an ultimately good one that most people would be able to get behind. However, its portrayal of the societies of Tarak and Mejere are rather stereotypical of said genders, leading critics to argue that the series is reinforcing stereotypes around [[MenDontCry said]] [[VanityIsFeminine genders]] and on the subject of Dita, Meia and Jura: three women who grew up in a society where [[LadyLand lesbians were the only known]] [[LesYay form of sexual and romantic attraction]] have their affections for Hibiki referred to as "forgotten biological instincts", accidentally coming across to some as a CureYourGays message.

Dita had always held fantasies of a mysterious "alien" different from all her friends sweeping her off her feet, suggesting that her sexuality already aimed at men or at least something other than the women around her; Meia never showed much interest in Hibiki beyond friendship and mentorship; and Jura remains committed to her girlfriend throughout, attempting to seduce men to further emphasize her own beauty and gain fame for herself, such as by being the first Mejeran woman to bear a child through their ancestors' methods.[[/note]]
