>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.
>In the original episode, titled "Probability," a young woman told viewers, "I'm a girl. Could have just as easily been a boy, though, because the probability of becoming a girl is always 1 in 2."
>"See, inside each of our cells are these things called chromosomes, and they control whether we become a boy or a girl, " the young woman continued. "See, there are only two possibilities: XX, a girl, or XY, a boy."
>But in the version of the episode uploaded to Netflix, the segment has been cut entirely. 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.
>It is not clear whether the 1996 segment was cut when it was first uploaded, or whether the edit was in reaction to recent controversies over Bill Nye's stance on gender identity.

Interestingly, Bill Nye never says this himself. The scene in the OP pic happens, but he never actually says what's in the caption.

I mean to be fair it's not great information even without all the "politics" involved. But it just seems weird that they removed it because I'm sure it can't be the only thing in the show that was simplified to an extent that it's not entirely good information and it just drew more attention to the whole thing.

In the 90's, sex and gender were interchangeable terms (although more like the 70's but understanding of sex ed propagates slowly). These days we use them differently because it allows us to articulate more concepts. Bill Nye, being a scientist, updates his language to keep up with this understanding. What, exactly, is the problem here?

I hope they continue this trend, honestly. I have a science encyclopedia from 1992 that says the Earth is millions of years old. Obviously from either before, or during the earliest days of, carbon dating.

It's worth noting that the segment itself was about probability and they only used the XX/XY concepts kind of incidentally as part of it. They probably just thought it'd be more "sciencey" using that example. I can understand why they cut it, because I'm sure someone would had said something eventually anyway.

You understand that the guys who do your oil change are not engineers, right?
Do you understand what an engineer is? What their education is based on? What they do to solve problems?

>>8236012
Yeah I can't believe that the educational shows from twenty years ago might be presenting outdated information. What a shocker.

So? Why should I care, cunt?
