Second Nature: Gender and Sexuality in the Animal World
Did you know that clownfish can change their sex from male to female? (So if Nemo’s mum had died in real life, his dad would have become his mum!) Did you know that albatrosses, penguins and swans raise their young in same-sex pairs? Or that bonobos, who are just as closely related to us as chimpanzees, live in matriarchal societies and have same-sex sex every day?!
‘Second Nature’ debunks myths claiming that women are ‘inferior’ and being queer is “unnatural”, and follows the pioneering trans evolutionary biologist Dr Joan Roughgarden as she meets other groundbreaking scientists researching more than 1,500 animal species that practise same-sex sexual behaviour and same-sex parenting, change their sex, form matriarchies and much more.
A film that highlights what is far too rarely taught.
