Originally posted by SurturI don't really know what you mean about "feelings over facts" in this case, that feels like a weird new buzzphrase you're trying to coin. Gender ≠ Sex is a fact, so omitting the whole bit seems the most sensible thing to do, since it's a lot easier to just get rid of that bit rather than record a new bit where Nye explains the actual, real (or at least 'current'😉 science of it (as science is actually an ever-changing beast that evolves over time with new discoveries – things have moved on since the '90s, for example). But, wait, he did record a new bit where he explains the science of it (the song in question), so I guess they covered everything, really. I can't see any examples of "feelings over facts" so maybe you misunderstood what was going on?
If there is no controversy, why remove it? It would have been much easier for Bill to just make a statement "she was referring to sex not gender" as opposed to removing the episode and deleting the entire segment.It sounds like they are putting feelings above facts. It'd be a non-issue if this was the only example of people putting feelings over facts, but it is not. Though there is no doubt it is by far not the most important issue in the world.
