Elise Andrew's legions of parrots might want to update their statuses from “I F****** Love Science” to “It's Complicated.”
What would William "Bill" Nye say? More importantly, what should Bill say? To put it another way, what ought any self-respecting (albeit self-proclaimed) “science guy” (or gal) say about the strange case of Bruce (“Caitlyn”) Jenner?
A plausible scientific starting-point would be to simply ask the following questions. What are the relevant genes? Is the sex-determining gene an 'x' or a 'y'?
“How is Bruce Jenner a woman? ...[Presumably, h]is DNA is that of a man.”[1]
I thought that it was Sci-way or the highway?
Suddenly, it seems that it's: “Genetics? Schmenetics!”
“Reality is outlawed. Illusion rules our supposedly science-based, post-modernist world.”[2]

Disclaimer: The topmost image lays a caption over Bill Nye's visage for dramatic purposes. It is meant to be ironic. So far as I can ascertain, Bill Nye never uttered or otherwise communicate the words that are therein displayed.
