i mean i would assume being a neun and unisex dont cancel each other out. while unisex means not specifically subscribing to any gender (and therefore able to transverse gender roles), neun IS a gender of neutrality. i have a gender, but i just dont specifically fit into any established expectations of said gender role, culture, and set of goals because my gender is neutral and my sex identity is unisex - therefore, i am not expected to "act like im neutral" or "be unisexed". there is no expectation for me to be that way, and so unisex is more like "bypassing expectations/roles of your gender by not having any," instead of "not having a specific gender".

like i am a neun. i am neutral. i grew into a neutral sense of self. but i am expected to be a girl because of my sex assignment and who raised me. my neuthood had NO expectations or roles for me to fit into, so they shoved me into the girlhood role. i was subsequently raised that way, even if i didnt connect to it and still dont. same thing with boyhood, i was shoved into that one as well while rejecting my femininity because i had to be "one or the other but never both or neither."

so, id say ive been unisex for a while - and a neun for shorter. but its still me. while ill probably use unbier as a collective term (like miaspec or fiaspec), specific language always hits home for me. because its ME.

All in Order

Visual memory, the ability to recall what we've seen, involves both the visual cortex, the part of the brain receiving information from the eyes, and the hippocampus, known to be critical for learning. To better define the function of this area, scientists tested the performance of mice with a damaged hippocampus; pictured are cross-sections of a normal mouse brain (top) and one lacking much of the hippocampus (bottom). Mice can learn individual visual patterns as well as the order in which they are presented, and recording electrical responses from relevant brain areas can demonstrate whether mice perceive images as familiar. Mice with a damaged hippocampus could still recognise single patterns, but their response to sequences of images in familiar or unusual orders was disrupted. The hippocampus thus seems necessary for remembering how stimuli relate to each other, moving us one step closer to understanding how complex memories are made.
