This episode is not what I was expect so I had to watch it twice, but I'm extremely glad I did. I feel like more people need to see this content and learn about these topics.
A really nice primer on the topic of human sexuality and gender. Quirky, funny, corny, and packed full of scientific information. Some folks might find it a little uncomfortable to talk about anatomy, but I think they should just get over it.
The episode really explains what most people are talking about when they speak about gender identities. I didn't understand at first but I realize science is always changing and evolving as we learn more. I finally had to put my past beliefs and hard headedness behind me and really be open minded to this idea. I was glad after I did.
A lot of the reviews I've seen here complain about "an agenda" being pushed on people. Personally, I felt this topic was discussed independent of any political motivation.
Having said that, this series at large, and this episode specifically, are not targeted at the same audience as his last show, so some innuendo and more adult themes are expected. While I would've liked to see some sources (an example of good citation on TV can be seen in Adam Ruins Everything), it was helpful that he did interview experts.
This show takes topics that are fairly complex and presents them in an easy-to-digest format. With any sort of fact-based show like this, the real struggle is making dry facts interesting, and the writers did an excellent job with this show.
Watch this with an open mind, and feel free to fact-check it on your own. Don't forget that there are people who are gay, or bi, or trans, and this episode tackles that topic unabashedly and honestly.

Ill be brief. Anyone who participated in this episode should face actual prison time. It's just that bad I feel that jail is the only solution. There's a song towards the end that is the most cringe content that's every been produced in the history of the earth.
