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.

    Oh, I'm sorry. Show me on the Venn diagram exactly where any other human believes gender is not the same thing as sex but isn't an SJW. Yeah, I didn't think so.

    So you think the entire field of psychology is "SJW?"

    See here [psychiatryonline.org]

    You can't see the whole DSM there, but there are exurbs which make it clear that "sex" and "gender" are different.

    Really you usually are inflammatory but thoughtful. I'm surprised to see you resorting to thoughtless name calling, especially when 30 seconds of online searching will refute your accusation.

    Sure, if you have specifically constructed your definition of a SJW as "a person who thinks gender and sex are not the same thing," that intersection is a perfect circle. Apparently a SJW is really "whatever negative thing I don't like today."

    The great thing about 'SJW' is that you can define it any way you like. Which is ironic, really.
