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.

That's fine. Pick a different one. Gender is already widely used and means a specific thing.
Oh and don't go asking me to switch pronouns around to accommodate you. I'm not going to start every conversation by asking what your preferred pronouns are today. That's fucking stupid.
Agree to those and we have no problems.

Who gives a flying fuck how you react? Smash? Some of us may well react in kind. When your face is smashed into the pavement, you may want to reconsider how fucking rude you are.

No. Runaway doesn't go in for the moonshine.
He's a booty bumper [collinsdictionary.com] all the way. He's pretty worked up about this, so I'm guessing he hasn't gotten his bump yet.

Agree that the pronouns thing goes too far, especially where it's used as a pretext to take offence.
