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.

    You keep posting these links but they do not counter the arguments being presented, people are arguing "gender" while you post links pertaining to "gender identity". Is it a failure to understand the difference or an attempt to deliberately conflate these two separate issues?

    The former having already been explained, here is Camille Paglia [youtube.com] to explain the latter.
