What is the history of the Unicorn Forest?

[Satinjoy]

A term I am unfamiliar with and love.

What is it and where did it come from?

Blessings dear ones

The term started with Nero declaring us unicorns and starting his posts with 'greetings unicorns'. Thus we became unicorns of the unicorn forest. The unicorn forest being either this board or the conceptual space of androgynity.

It works, a forest is a large place with trees defining it and marking it's boundaries and at the same time growing in the middle of paths and tripping people up. A wibbly wobbly half-world where all might be possible.

The term may also be a nod to the fact that non-binary, like a unicorn, is often regarded to not be real.  The joke stuck, and the term "unicorn forest" entered our everyday vocabulary (although it hasn't appeared much lately).

The vision is that there are two crowded cities, the binary city of men and the binary city of women. And between them is a forest where very rare creatures frolic - the non-binary gendered person, as rare as a unicorn.

I enjoyed the time that I spent there and hope that the unicorns allow me to visit from time to time.

Your tree house and rope swing are still there, waiting for you to visit or stay...
