Rant re; “archaeologists will know your assigned birth gender” trope
Let’s say, sake of argument, you can identify birth gender from remains 100% accurately. Bodies are only one way to study the past. Do you think in all those people at Canyon de Chelly, there were no nadleehi? Are you sure that apparently female Scandinavian buried with weapons presented as female? Do you really think medieval London wasn’t full of AMAB folks presenting female?
Rant re; “archaeologists will know your assigned birth gender” trope
See, what *I* get out of archaeology is that when we look to the past we see similar people. And one of those similarities is that there’s almost always some sort of trans thing going on. So please, DO gender every pelvis and mandible you find because you’re proving THAT point, not that it’s somehow violating some divine plan to transition.
