Celebrating Gendered Embodiment
06/11/2021Land Acknowledgement
21/01/2022I know gender to be a construct, upheld by the mores, norms, and socialization of a society that places these expectations on a pedestal of superiority which exalts sexism and harms us all. Fuck that noise — choose self regard and sovereignty! Gender in relation to your own values, in relation to what you want. Seek validation from your body, your felt sensations of pleasure in the ways you choose to be in action.
❓Is your gendering done in relation to others
❓Do you seek gender validation from others
❓Is it a purposeful choice or a habit handed to you by a society of judgement
❓What happens if you don’t receive external affirmation
❓How does their response fulfill your gendering wishes
I invite you to step into a different paradigm: one in which we engage with gendering as an internal practice of reflection on our felt senses.
🥁 What are your internal sensations of rightly gendering?
🥁 Describe the sensations you notice when you are in right relationship with your gendering joy
🥁 What do you notice in your heart – mind – body
🥁 How are your gendering choices interwoven with the felt knowledge of your body
