This practice is called gender as animal, and it's a movement and reflection practice that is important for the sake of both embodied parenting and gender creative parenting. It can give you the potential to get more clarity and authorship over your own gendered experience, whatever gender you identify with. When you do this work, you move towards fuller authorship and expression of who you are.
