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.

    It's not those with skin in the game trying to redefine a word, for the most part. It's their cheerleaders and wannabes.

    I'll bite! Your an ignorant blowhard who likes to pretend he's smart. Your only enjoyment in life seems to be spreading misinformation, bad opinions, and trolling people online. Clearly you need to improve your life, travel more, and maybe finish / goto college and learn something outside your comfort zone. You are a troglodyte trying to wear a wizard's cap and you just look like a fool.
