Netflix Edits 'Bill Nye' Episode to Remove Segment Saying Chromosomes Determine Gender

Submitted via IRC for TheMightyBuzzard

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.

    Gender on rye, with swiss cheese and mustard.
    That was a helluva gender last night, wasn't it?
    I've been gendering about that for weeks!
    So many genders, so little time.
    If you get a gender, you should make sure you really want it. They're hard to remove.

    Have a great gender, Buzzard!

    Have a great gender, Buzzard!

    That could work if 22nd century technology allows "transhumans" to change gender daily.
