520    In this book, the author challenges accepted wisdom about 
       gender identity and sexual orientation. She takes on the 
       medical establishment, the Bible, social science - and 
       even Darwin himself. She leads the reader through a ... 
       discussion of diversity in gender and sexuality among fish,
       reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals, including 
       primates. She argues that principal elements of Darwinian 
       sexual selection theory are false and suggests a new 
       theory that emphasizes social inclusion and control of 
       access to resources and mating opportunity. She disputes a
       range of scientific and medical concepts, including 
       Wilson's genetic determinism of behavior, evolutionary 
       psychology, the existence of a gay gene, the role of 
       parenting in determining gender identity, and Dawkins's 
       "selfish gene" as the driver of natural selection. She 
       dares social science to respect the agency and rationality
       of diverse people shows that many cultures across the 
       world and throughout history accommodate people we label 
       today as lesbian, gay, and transgendered and calls on the 
       Christian religion to acknowledge the Bible's many 
       passages endorsing diversity in gender and sexuality. In 
       the book, she concludes with bold recommendations for 
       improving education in biology, psychology, and medicine 
       for democratizing genetic engineering and medical practice
       and for building a public monument to affirm diversity as 
       one of our nation's defining principles.
