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.

Nobody among who argues the earth is flat has been able to disprove all objections. Why does the sun wobble according to seasons and in complete geometrical consistency with a spherical earth? where is the map of the spherical earth that accounts for real world observations? Here we have a different situation. First you explain beyond all doubts why guevedoce kids behave as males, when they are raised as females and possess female genitalia, then you can make your objection. And No, you should not edit out the segment anyway.
DAMMIT, people. YOUR BRAIN must be the fake news detector, not THE SYSTEM. Anybody who argues the truth must come from the ones in power is worse than the punks raising their left or right arm to the dictatorial ideology of choice. At least they are explicitly sheep.

And nobody who argues "chromosomes" has been able to disprove the existence of intersex and transgender people. In fact, they don't even try, they just label anyone presenting arguments "SJW" and ignores any claims brought by any person they just labeled SJW.

which would be a non sequitur, so?
Chromosomes affect the mind. Ergo gender identification is not entirely, nor mainly, cultural. Nothing of this denies LGBT people.
Now if you consider sex for what it is, a differentiation useful for mating purposes, LGBT plus priests, incels, and whatever, are all abnormal. Does it mean I hate priesthood?

Indeed. Even in 2017, the flat earth society has members from all around the globe.
