Thought the irony of transphobes saying when they discover trans people’s skeletons, they’ll only see us as our AGAB. Apparently figuring out a skeleton’s sex is not so cut and dry. Fascinating story regardless.

      Old science, yes. People forget how young modern science is, electricity was only “discovered” less than 300 years ago, the internet only became public 28 years ago, carbon dating isn’t even 100 years old yet, DNA wasn’t even broken down into it’s parts and structure until the 1950s, Einstein’s theory of relativity is barely over a century old. Archeology is hundreds if not thousands of years old, and even modern archeology probably started before the US was even a country
