Along with nir research partner, Halin, Kivik conducted | Along with nir research partner, Halin, Kivik conducted a years-long [[Gender Expression In J'naii: A Cross-Discipline Study|study of the effects of gender on J'naii psychology and physiology]]<ref>"JP - A Face From The Past" [https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/Up0I8hc3a_I/m/kPLZGDs5AQAJ | Part 1] & [https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/aozdKSIPEl0/m/qvoQ3wBAAQAJ | Part 2], [[Kivik]] & PNPC Halin, [[Amity Outpost]]</ref>. The study's controversial hypothesis suggested that there may, in fact, be no mental or physical illness component to J'naii gender expression. The study was conducted using a variety of measures, including neurological and genetic testing - overseen by Halin - as well as interviews, surveys, and other cultural data aggregation - overseen by Kivik. The identities of the study's subjects was kept strictly confidential to avoid any social backlash towards them. | ||
Ultimately, Kivik and Halin determined that their research conclusively demonstrated no statistically significant link between gender and any other mental or physical illness within J'naii and, further, that individuals who were allowed to express themselves were generally happier and healthier than repressed counterparts. The J'naii government strictly forbade the researchers from publishing their findings without making significant alterations that would undermine the legitimacy of the research<ref>"JP - A Face From The Past" [https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/Up0I8hc3a_I/m/kPLZGDs5AQAJ | Part 1] & [https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/aozdKSIPEl0/m/qvoQ3wBAAQAJ | Part 2], [[Kivik]] & PNPC Halin, [[Amity Outpost]]</ref>. Under the pressure, Halin and Kivik were split on what to do. Kivik opted to publish the unchanged findings on nir own and took an opportunity to leave J'naii in hopes of finding a new home with the Federation. | Ultimately, Kivik and Halin determined that their research conclusively demonstrated no statistically significant link between gender and any other mental or physical illness within J'naii and, further, that individuals who were allowed to express themselves were generally happier and healthier than repressed counterparts.
