Message from instructor(s) |
Sometimes we feel it difficult to live our lives freely when we were restricted by gender stereotypes. Your discomfort in everyday life may have a connection with worry of someone else or social problems. Let’s think about the issues which become visible by questioning what you recognize “ordinary” in terms of gender. |
