There is no "lesson from epigenetics", and while I'm somewhat sympathetic to the author's politics I'm not about to try to claim they in any way follow from claims that "epigenetic diversity is fundamentally different from genetic diversity or simple plain old phenotypic diversity." Not everyone is the same height. We've learned over the past century that doing our best to accommodate diversity results in a more interesting, happy and loving world. The source of diversity doesn't matter. We've also learned that giving people the freedom to make their own choices about their own bodies is generally better than giving that power to someone who has less information, like a legislator or a judge. None of this has anything to do from epigenetics, and there is simply no political lesson to be had from it, any more than there was a political lesson to be had from Darwin, despite claims to the contrary by everyone from Spencer to Marx.
