Bill seems relatively successful at getting kids excited about science. I'm sure he could have obtained a more respectable degree if he didn't already have a T.V. gig when he was very young.
Now I'm not physical scientist. But follow me here here... There are such a thing as penises right? and Vagina's too right? and then, rarely, something in between the two occurs. That means sexual organs could be classified on a spectrum. Even if the ends of the spectrum are the most weighted.

Sex is not defined by our organs but our genes. That's where I break with the attempts to normalize what are essentially genetic or endocrine disorders that cause aberrant expression of secondary sex characteristics.
Yea, if somebody is androgynous because of hormonal issues growing up and they have an erectile clitoris and their labia majora are baggy and wrinkled like scrote, I'm perfectly happy to recognize their genderfluidity and be compassionate about it.
Now I'm guessing that type of situation probably represents no more than 5-10% of non-binary's and I'd curious what the actual number is. The other 95% are those who, due to some combination of psychological and possibly mild endocrine abnormality, identify as something besides their genetic and puberty-developed sex. I don't really give a shit about that either as long as they're not demanding I use strange pronouns like ze, but I do think it's more likely they need to see a psychotherapist rather than a plastic surgeon.
