I was considering captioning the first figure “the three genders” as a joke, but I quickly realized it doesn’t pass at all for a joke, it’s too real. Polygyny (sperm being cheap, pregnancy being expensive) actually does give rise to a tendency for males of a species to be more risk-seeking, though probably not outright convex. And the correlation between wealth, altruism and linearity does kind of abstractly reflect an argument for the decreased relevance of this distinction in highly stable societies that captures my utopian nonbinary feelings pretty well.
