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.

First time I saw this:

I actually though it was meant to depict female hips and legs. Took me some minutes to get that it just meant "yes". Square brackets might have helped ;-)

Nah, more like the reverse.
Reactionary laws have forced biological females who take male hormones as part of their transition to compete with other biological females and thus winning through an unfair advantage.
The Texas state wrestling championships aren't usually national news. But they made headlines this weekend when a 17-year-old transgender boy — barred by state rules from competing in the boys' league — won his weight class, against girls.
Mack Beggs, the teenage boy in question, hasn't sought the spotlight. By all accounts he just wants to wrestle.
But media attention found him anyway. In part, that's because some parents of female wrestlers have vocally objected to the fact that Beggs, who has been taking testosterone as part of his gender transition, is wrestling girls. One parent even filed a lawsuit against the league that organizes public school sports.
