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.

    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?
