When uploaded to Netflix, an episode of the educational children's show "Bill Nye the Science Guy" cut out a segment saying that chromosomes determine one's gender.

[...] While noncontroversial at the time, the 1996 segment appears to contradict Netflix's new series "Bill Nye Saves the World."

The new show endorses a socially liberal understanding of gender, under which gender is defined by self-identification rather than genetics and there are more than just the two traditional genders.

People, people, people... Say it with me: The Internet Never Forgets.

    At least in Canada we have a (on and off) 3 party system, with the odd littler parties gaining here and there as people become more and more aware of them (Go Green!).

    But the 3 2 big parties work hard to make people ignorant of the fact that there are more than 3 2 parties and work hard to keep groups like the greens out of political debates.... to let them into a debate would legitimize them and make people aware of them.

      Man, you know your country is fucked when the party on the Left is socialist, the party on the Right is socialist, and the parties on the top and bottom are socialist too!

      Must be the free healthcare.

        They all believe in socialism when it comes to helping out successful businesses. Remember that corporations are people and socialism is about helping people, so socialism is about big government helping the poor corporations.
