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.

There is a lot of irony in your embrace of the range of definitions of gender and your hardcore insistence on the narrow usage of the term "race."
I'm sure you've got some rationalization why the same dictionary is correct for one word and incorrect for another.

Haha. When the might dummy does it, he's a 6-year old princess stamping his foot.
When you do it you are a mommy.
Your cognitive dissonance is showing.
