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.

    What's established should be preserved. Tradition should be respected. Change should be limited.

            Time was that people would say:

            Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

            I guess the conspiracy got that one too.

    Rejecting change based entirely on your fanciful whims is no traditionalism, it's merely pragmatism.
