What is Reddit's opinion of Evolution’s Rainbow: Diversity, Gender, and Sexuality in Nature and People?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Fun fact: pretty much any animal with a spinal column has instances of sexual diversity. I highly recommend reading Evolution’s Rainbow It’s by a trans evolutionary biologist and is a fascinating read

I’d like to plug Evolution’s Rainbow a fascinating book by a trans evolutionary biologist that documents and explains the broad gender and sexuality spectrum in animals. Darn near everything with a spinal cord has some divergence in their species and a lot have same sex coupling as just the norm of their existence, it’s a big spectrum

I highly recommend Evolution’s Rainbow it’s written by a trans evolutionary biologist who really gets into the nitty gritty of gender and sexuality in the animal kingdom and how basically everything with a spine has a spectrum of expression

>I think you’re conflating gender and sex, they’re two different concepts

Are they? Or are you assuming the human animal is outside evolutions reach as a special creature, like Peterson does?

>Sex is biological while the concept of gender and gender roles and scrips are a societal construct. I do agree that with what you’re saying though. But gender and sexuality are separate entities.

I think both are social constructs. Genetically, and evolutionary scales, we're all of the above and often it's dependant on the environment.

and many organisms do in fact have multiple well-defined genders, even vertebrates; scientists discover more all the time now that people are more willing to look past the male/female paradigm (and I'm speaking as a biologist).

Evolution's Rainbow has exactly what you are looking for.

Somebody needs to learn way more about biology

Unfortunately I cannot summarize an answer for you but I can tell you where to look: Evolution’s Rainbow: Diversity, Gender, and Sexuality in Nature and People by Joan Roughgarden (amazon | audible | publisher).

ah. the nature argument: https://www.amazon.com/Evolutions-Rainbow-Diversity-Gender-Sexuality/dp/0520260120

NOPE.
