  • Gender Expression (Gender Expression), also known as gender performance or gender temperament, refers to the behavior of individuals showing or expressing their gender to the outside world through names, clothing, walking styles, communication and communication, as well as social roles and general behavior patterns   . Gender Expression has a long history in countries all over the world, and its connotation and extension will also change with social changes and time   .
    In our country's laws and policies, although the concept of Gender Expression is not explicitly mentioned, there are many clauses that mention that people with different Gender Expressions should enjoy the same rights. According to the Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Protection of Minors (revised in 2020), schools and kindergartens should provide age-appropriate sex education for minors   .
    Gender Expression, as one of the common concepts of sex and gender, is often explained from the perspectives of self-protection and gender awareness in education. Among the relevant education documents issued by various ministries and commissions in my country, the "Guiding Outline for Public Safety Education in Primary and Secondary Schools" (2007) emphasizes the necessity of sex education from the perspective of strengthening safety awareness and gender awareness.
    It is one of the important contents of comprehensive sex education to accept that everyone has equal right to choose in terms of sexual orientation, gender identity, Gender Expression, and avoid stigma, discrimination and violence. Children and adolescents’ understanding of gender and gender diversity related to Gender Expression will help them understand discrimination and prejudice related to gender recognition and gender, develop values ​​of tolerance and respect, learn to accept themselves and others, and further create a more friendly society .

      It's really easy to lie and be exposed

      Gender identity is an issue, but it doesn't seem to feel like the film is LGBTQ-labeled. I feel more of a child with limited growth experience, the efforts and attempts made when trying to integrate into the new group, and the anxiety that gradually accumulates in a series of concealment of facts.

      The point of focus is not trying to pretend to be a boy, but trying to protect the lies he tells. Little kids will do weirder things to protect their weird sense of shame. Tomboy's lie was...

      desire and identity

      Celine Schiamma's Tomboy continues the unique expression of queer desire in 2007's Daffodils.

      For example, the part of chewing the gum she ate makes it easy to think of Marie secretly eating the green apple core that Floriane threw in the garbage bag in "Daffodils Blossoms".

      And Anne buried her underwear in the yard of her male god's house,

      But when the male god really wanted to have sex with her, she spit into the...

      See the protagonist's gender from the freckles' details

      Freckles are directly related to male hormones. From the perspective of ta's mother, the possibility of HRT can be ruled out, so ta should secrete more male hormones.

      I think the director knew this, so he designed this detail, and then focused on his face, to let the audience notice this...

      Charming boyhood

      I watched the castrated version of this film in China. There is a 20-minute swimming episode missing, but it doesn't affect the feeling of the whole film. The heroine is very handsome. For me as the only child, I really envy her and her sister's little understanding, so warm! The film only lasts for a summer vacation. The girls in it are very good. The girl at that age always knows more than the boys. Finally, after Laure regained her identity as a girl and introduced herself to Lisa again,...

      26 years old, still alive inexplicably.

      I didn't watch this movie, it hurts a bit. It was as if I saw myself as a child. When I was a child, I liked to use my aunt's gel water to comb a little master's oily hair. I like to go to my grandmother's house and put a pillow towel into my trousers to make Qing Dynasty men's clothes. Going to relatives' house likes others to praise me: This little boy is so handsome...

      I live in the system now, I still have short hair, but my heart has become fragile, sensitive and soft. I hide my...

      At first I saw this little boy sitting on his father's lap and they were very close. I thought it would be a father-son love. Later, seeing his mother gently touching his hair, I thought it would be a love between mother and child. Later, when I saw him taking a bath with his sister, I thought to myself, it turned out to be a brother-sister relationship. Then I saw him staring at the boy playing football, I thought, finally got to the point, and the same sex came. It was not until later that I...

      Many times I feel sorry for my sister, when she is left at home alone in the middle of the game, she knows the secret, but she just sits silently against the wall, when she makes up like an adult, when she helps to tell lies, and so on, you will see the children's game behavior in the conversation Instinct imitation of the surrounding and adult world also sees in them what has not been taken away by time is very delicate and...
