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.

To those who don't like what Netflix did, protest by dropping your subscription. They probably would have lost more money keeping it in than removing it because the triggered left reacts more swiftly than the triggered right.

While I'm not a Netflix customer, I generally wish them the best because A) it's hilarious watching the major entertainment companies desperately trying and failing (knock on wood) to kill them, and B) fuck the *AA.
So I guess I'd weigh this against that and say, "eh, could be a lot worse."
"Is that really true?" "I just spent the last hour telling you to think for yourself! Didn't you hear anything I said?"

Why is it so hard for you to RTFA?
Netflix did nothing, they are only streaming what was made available to them.
