If genders are not related to sexes then why do men who want to act like/be perceived as women take on the typical characteristics of a human female and why do women who want to act like/be perceived as men take on the typical characteristics of a human male? What is this third gender and if it exists, to what sex, of which there is only two, does it draw itself from?

I've been researching forms of energy for fun, and recently discovered that, yes, all energy is really kinetic or potential. Third grade didn't actually lie to me. But I can't understand gravity. Please bear with me.

So space-time is displaced by matter. Matter attracts other matter by gravitational force because the "path" it was following through space was curved by that other object. I get that. What I don't get is how gravitational force is also potential energy.

Say two cool rocky objects, the first bigger than the second encounter each other in space. Object 2 finds an orbit around object 1. 2 is falling at an angle where it misses object 1 indefinitely. There is no atmosphere and there is no drag. Potential gravitational energy is being converted to kinetic energy in object 2 so that it does not fall into object 1. Where does that potential energy come from? There is no kinetic transfer between the two objects. There is no radiation, light, anything. Pure gravity involved with the closed systems that are objects 1 and 2.

This is blowing my mind man.

I have some lead if you need some.

I have a physics exam soon. What are some tricks or things to keep in mind when solving Gauss's Law and electric potential word problems? I always have trouble with those.
