So the whole “in 1000 years the archaeologists will know/be deeply aggrieved that you were AMAB!” thing

1) won’t big endocrine shifts turn up in long bone heads especially?

2) won’t lack of grave goods mean hypothetical archaeologists can’t get much useful data from most modern first world bodies?

2) archaeology historically gets coopted for racism and nationalism right? So I’d figure any transphobic archaeologists would be screaming about exactly this right now but AFAIK it’s not happening?

@Leucrotta and most importantly: why do i care about my bones 1000 years in the future

Follow

@wolfteeth I sorta hope my mandible and maxilla survive somehow because I’m missing a chunk of upper jaw and I figure that ought to be interesting to someone.

@Leucrotta i hope whoever discovers my bones and possessions in the future is very confused
