Summary

Queer naturalist Connel Bradwell challenges mainstream biology's oversight of queer animal behavior. Schooled in traditional theories like survival of the fittest, Connel questions why humans can be queer while animals supposedly aren't. Connel embarks on a journey to unveil diverse expressions of gender and behavior in nature. He discovers the science behind same-sex parenting in seabirds, hermaphrodite slugs, and the hidden history of same-sex penguin behavior. This documentary challenges conventional wildlife assumptions, celebrates diversity, and demands a rethinking of heteronormative science.
