Playing with ladybugs in their backyard, a sister and a brother conclude that all ladybugs have black spots on their red wings. They note that the two colors are just like the two genders. 
 
One day, their entomologist aunt takes them to her workplace, where they learn that ladybugs come in more than just two colors. In the same way, the siblings learn that people have more than two genders and that love comes in many colors, just like the ladybugs and their aunt. 
 
The world has so many possibilities and ways of life to discover, way beyond our original assumptions.
