Gender expression is a broad topic that takes a lot of willingness to approach. It allows us to question gender as a social construct and how we interact with it in our everyday life. It’s important to keep in mind that this definition is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to gender expression, and there are so many other ways to understand it. Have you thought about how you express your gender? Swipe to see some questions to get you started on exploring gender expression and share your thoughts in the comments below.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

L’expression du genre est un vaste sujet qui demande beaucoup de volonté de la part des personnes qui veulent l’aborder. Le tout nous permet de remettre en question la construction sociale derrière le genre et la manière dont nous interagissons avec ce dernier au quotidien. Il est important de garder en tête que cette définition n’est que la base en ce qui concerne l’expression du genre, et qu’il existe d’autres façons de la comprendre. Avez-vous déjà réfléchi à la façon dont vous exprimez votre genre? Regardez ces questions pour vous aider à explorer l’expression du genre et partagez vos réflexions dans les commentaires.
