Meditations on Internal Force and Gender

Internal force is roughly described as forces working within to maintain a structure against external forces.

Here I work with the idea of gender, as known and accepted within the body, to be an internal force.

That regardless of external forces, there is in fact a force existent within.

Gender is within any individual, as the body exists with a sex and it’s expression to related bodies, in likeness or difference.

Characteristics prescribed to a body from external understandings of gender may not align with the internal gender, understood by the body itself.

In regard to sex and gender together, I believe the internal stance should be the primary account for said body. The relation of external force imposing a structure that is not upheld by the body then, becomes an external acting force that is working against the internal force of the gender.

When acted upon, the internal force then responds with acceptance, bend or break (simplified for sake of the thought following).

It is that, there are bodies who’s internal force is in alignment with external force imposing the external understanding of gender on the sex of the body.

In contrast, there are bodies who’s internal gender understanding is bent, not left in fullness or in tact, from external force imposing the external understandings of gender on the sex of the body.

Further, there are bodies who’s internal force of gender breaks, as a simplified term, from the external force imposing external understandings of gender on the sex of the body.

It can be casually understood by most anyone, the meaning, feeling and imposition of external force applied to one’s internal force of gender.

Then whether any particular gendering instance has been accepted, been a slight upon your person or completely reject within one’s self.

Identity within has been left without the availability of blossom because it has been made into an immutable characteristic by casual understanding. Such that resistance is met with a heavier imposing external force, until the external force is satisfied, further that the casual understanding is absolute.

In instances of the external force being met with opposition from internal force, regardless of relation, it seems that the external actor is pulled into a battle of internal force, such that the actor’s internal force must be the only understanding and accepted as such.

It would seem that the casual understanding of gender is to be kept up by gatekeeping and hall monitoring those around you. However, if accepting that the varying nature of being, and being an individual, it would surely be senseless to enforce one’s internal natures upon any other.

Humans have a curiousness and aptitude for understanding and growth, but are limited by imposition.

I suppose even more simplified, if gender were represented by colors, at the end of a paintbrush, no one has to be fed options to find the color that satisfies themselves.

By finding a need to suggest or impose, it’s as though one seeks to blot out another, or even just see themselves in relation. However, there is no need for such behavior, as there are plenty others akin to one’s expression.

It is also natural for grow into finding groups akin, as well as being around those differing, again there fails to be a need for imposition.
