[Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.]

Reminder that fat people are cute af

Not for the first time, Moist deplored his own tendency to see the angles in whatever happened, good or bad.

Terry Pratchett, Raising Steam

I would prefer not to: this sentence speaks in the intimacy of our nights: negative preference, the negation that effaces preference and is effaced therein: the neutrality of that which is not among the things there are to do.

Maurice Blanchot, The Writing of the Disaster

Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral.

— Paulo Freire

Recently there's a... Situation? Debacle? Of a Youtuber called Kwite where another person called Orion says that Kwite did a bunch of terrible things to him. When it first pop up in my Twitter feed, I thought to myself "Dang! That is terrible. Why would somebody do something like this? Kwite seemed like a good person.", liked a few posts about the situation, then moved on with my day. My opinion of Kwite has changed, and the world is just a little bit worse.

Now Kwite has posted a video telling his side of the situation, and it was obvious watching it that Orion lied about what Kwite did. Looking at the Kwite tag now shows people realizing they made a mistake, them knowing that Kwite would never do this, and this is why people should be neutral in these kinds of situations. The first bit was just my situation, but that last bit got me thinking. I always thought I wouldn't be in the mob mentality, but this just proved me wrong.

I've seen posts about chronically online people and how social media can change our mentality, but this is the first time I REALLY think about it. I've, never really fact checked any online, because somebody is already saying things about it. Why bother when the facts are already laid out in a simple way? Laziness at its finest. This self reflection of mine has made me realize that I need to install some habits, like getting both sides, staying neutral at first, and fact check things. I don't know if I'm gonna be able to live up to this list, but I'll try my hardest.

Uhh, stay safe out there? And use some brain cells?

Neuix: Describing a Non-Neutrois individual that finds a neutral gender attribution befitting and considers it an essential facet of their gender identity.

A sibling term of Mascix, Femix & Gynandrix.

Etymology

Neuix was created to mirror the paradigm used for Mascix. Femix and Gynandrix.

From English, “Neu” from “Neutral” + “-ix”, an neologistic suffix used by other terms in this genus, originally based upon Apathmascix and Apathfemix coined by user Cybertroniancoining. Neuix was coined by Gent of Gender-Jargon, 2023.

Elaboration

Neuix is a complex and potentially contradictory identity in which one’s gender is not Neutrois, but has neutral traits attributed to them nonetheless, and this attribution is not only considered to be fitting by the individual, but an integral part of their overall gender experience.

More simply, a Neuix individual:

Has a gender identity that they consider to be Non-Neutrois.

Has traits of neutrality attributed to them by other individuals.

Considers having traits of neutrality attributed to their person to be agreeable and in a few, multiple or all manners at least part of the time.

Considers this attribution to be an intrinsic part of their experience of their gender as a whole.

A Neuix individual is not apathetic to neutral gender attribution, but instead enjoys, appreciate, entertains, welcomes or otherwise freely accepts neutral traits being attributed to their person. Furthermore, this attribution is a fundamental aspect of their gender experience.

Flag

The Neuix flag was created to match the Mascix, Femix and Gynandrix flags. The flag consists of three vertical bars and a central, horizontal bar, forming a tri-color flag with a median line. At the left is the darkest green, becoming lighter as it moves right. The median stripes is beige in color. The colors have the following meanings:

The forest green, green and light green stripes represents neutral gender attribution.

The beige stripe represents not being Neutrois.

The Neuix flag was created by Gent of Gender-Jargon in 2023.

Note: Gender attribution is not necessarily based upon one’s expression, but is more frequently an assumption made about an individual’s gender identity without their input. Being an assumption, it is not always correct, good, wanted or warranted. Affirming attributions are congruent with one’s perception of themselves. Incorrect and undesired attributions are incongruent with this perception and are often distressing. Neuix should not be used to describe anyone who does not like neutrality being attributed to them, as it would be misdenoting on multiple levels

Some days I don't want to heal. Some days I need the control to say no, I'm fucking done. I want out. And that's equally as valid. There is never any compassion for the amount of control that living in abuse takes away from you. The gaslighting and brainwashing that conditioned us to believe we are evil, dirty, gross, disgusting, dumb, stupid, lazy, worthless. And the concept that ""healing"" is basically acknowledging that these are all lies somehow? How can you stomach that. How can you wake up every single day with the knowledge that your parents/abusers, who you trusted, told you such vile things. There is never any spoken compassion for the amount of insanity it takes to sit here and painstakingly unwind each and every single insult, each and every single punch, hit, swing, verbal and emotional and sexual assault against your soul. And if you don't have the strength to do that every single day? There is never any acknowledgement for how important it is for you to choose your own path forward. Even if the path forward is just standing still a while longer. You're still valid even if and when you can't do it anymore. You're still valid. You're still gonna make it. Just keep breathing through it all. And stand as still as you need to, until it feels safer to move again.

Many times, the thing that makes you want to change and heal some aspects of yourself and your life is the fact that you can't take your own shit anymore.

Maybe you can't take the stress you put on yourself, or you can't take anymore of the bad coping mechanisms, or you are finally accepting that you are sick but you are also sick of being sick and you might do something new about it because whatever is going on now is not as helpful. Just don't hold onto the resentment of not knowing better, of having done stuff you were not proud of to survive, of not being able to figure it out on your own.

If you want to recover out of spite, you can do so, but just don't let the frustration build into bitter anger, because anger can be just as self-destructive. Focus on wanting to change and seeing how that already makes for the first step in change itself. There is merit in the decision itself, and try to recognize that even though you're not perfect, you're still there for yourself.

You simply can't bully yourself into recovery. You can be tired of some of your bad behaviors and still be proud of yourself for showing up, broken, traumatized, scared, not knowing what to do, but still, you are showing up, you are trying. You can be aware of your flaws and how they are causing distress, but you should also be aware of all you do when you are trying to soothe that distress in a healthier way. Again, you can't bully yourself through recovery, you won't finally love yourself out of nowhere if you keep pointing it to yourself how much you hate who you are.

You have to nurture your recovery, and it's possible to do so while you hold yourself accountable for past unhealthy choices. You should try to forgive yourself, or at least to find some peace in the fact that you were doing what you could in your current state and that mistakes are part of the human experience, and being alive doesn't come with complete instruction manuals. The fact that you regret these mistakes shows that you are not a monster. Don't let your regrets make you so angry that you keep self-hating in hopes of that it will somehow help your self-improvement. It won't.

You are showing up for yourself. You are doing the work. It's not easy, but you don't need to hate yourself into changing. You can be neutral, you can know you're not perfect, not like other people, but you are still trying, you are still here for yourself, and even on days when you can't do all that needs to be done, you already did a lot and you're a badass just for showing up.

When you choose to see things neutrally, energy then begins to evenly move throughout the body, and the energy then no longer accumulates in the brain.

The energy moves through the body into the heart. And from the heart you then tune into the energies of unconditional love, for your heart is the gateway, is the portal, that links your consciousness to your higher self, your soul, your oversoul.

And then as you choose to demonstrate that unconditional love in your life, that is then done through following your passion.

But in order to really do that fully, what's required is that your physical mind is energetically neutral so the energy doesn't accumulate in the brain.

When the brain, so to say, has some kind of bias, energy then accumulates there, because that bias costs energy to produce. So, when the physical brain has a more negative bias, the energy of the body is drawn there, and it can make it a little bit more challenging for you to then be in the heart.

But when you're in a state of neutrality, the energy can then easily go to the heart. And when you allow for that energy to become bigger and bigger and bigger in your heart, it then naturally entrains the brain to be simultaneously neutral and simultaneously positive. And the brain begins to follow the positive lead of the heart.So these things are synergistic. They work together.

It is neutrality that ultimately gives you the ability to respond to things that are negative but in a positive way. If the neutrality is not there, there is in a sense no middle ground for the transformation to occur.

Peoples projections don’t stick to you when there is no velcro for them to attach to. Often our velcro is our resistance that is an equal but opposing force, Their energy is saying you are this, you’re pushing back, no I’m not. Neutrality is simply, I’m not going there with you.

“I am alive” / “I exist”

(source: me (sometimes positivity is too much so neutrality has to be enough))
