    As someone who likes to see the good in the world, I’d say: “checkmate, transphobes, who claim that archaeologists won’t be able to identify my gender via skeleton”.

      Transphobes: This is totally new, people made it up a few years ago.

      Also transphobes: If ancient people were like this there’s no way we could tell.

      There was actually a thing where out of like 27 skeletons randomly selected for a study, only TWO were confirmed to be female & male respectively. There were like 10 total that were thought to be male & female but the other ~15 they had no idea!

      isnt it the transphobes who say that archeologists will (incorrectly) assume your gender based on your skeleton?

        Yeah, I assumed that the bone-boobs were included in gender-affirming surgery.

        Sorry, if my joke wasn’t as thought through as it should have been. Hadn’t had lunch back then. 😅
