IMPOSED GENDER –HEGEMONIC COERCION AND PUNISHMENT

Abstract

The construction of an individual's gender is built even before his birth, through a customary social system that progresses a hegemony mastered in a sex-gender-sexuality pattern, which makes the human being binary into male and female and conditions them to social roles of being male or female. This fact does not contemplate the plural human needs, of gender and sexuality, and conditions a hegemonic heteronormativity, which aims to standardize, through imposition, divergent subjects, making them the target of sexism and homophobia. The purpose of this article is to unfold the hegemonic culture of life's imposition of gender and sexuality  and resistance of people who diverge from heteronormativism. With the support of qualitative approaches , the article is written about a Life Story. The reports, based on theories, point out congruent results about past problems, resulting from the imposition of gender and sexuality in the subject's Life History. It is concluded that, due to the nature of the divergence of gender and sexuality, the human being is more and / or less violated in his human and social rights.
