After the advent of DNA testing, many anthropologists and archeologists were embarrassed because skeletal remains were missexed.

Even my A&P textbook had this garbage in it. It claimed racial difference in the skull and sex difference in the Hip bones. But it's bullshit. The most reliable way to sex a skeleton is with DNA.

'The Mismeasure of Man' by Gould is a fascinating history of bio-determinism and psudoscientific attempt to measure it.

Archaeologist here, maybe it's just new wave training but widely taught that it's not an easy task to sex skeletons on morphology alone.

Sure some features appear more commonly amongst men and some more commonly amongst women, but there is considerable overlap.

Pelvis are generally identifiable, but the bio-archaeologists I know prefer to say the skeleton displays female characteristics without providing a definitive biological sex. They have to have some great evidence before claiming for certain.

Also fun fact, you can't measure this morphology when there's still skin and muscle fucking attached.

The most reliable way to sex a skeleton is to be interested in what they're interested in, and not say stuff like "ay, babey, you'd looked better with more meat on those bones!" Otherwise, just ride the vibe and see where the mood takes you.

It's ragebait, American fascists have always hated Catholics. At least in part just because so many immigrants are Catholic.

The hilarious thing about all these fascist trying to claim that the new Pope is woke is that he's more conservative than Francis.

Prevost opposes the ordination of women to the diaconate, arguing it "doesn't necessarily solve a problem" and could create new issues.[106]

Prevost opposes euthanasia, abortion, and the death penalty.

Prevost opposed the inclusion of "gender ideology" in Peruvian school curricula, stating it promotes "genders that don't exist".[81][121] In 2012, he criticized popular culture's sympathy for the "homosexual lifestyle" and same-sex families.[122] Prevost expressed reservations about "sympathy for beliefs and practices that contradict the gospel"

Just because he doesn't hate brown people and doesn't like trump they're doing trans phrenology on him lol.

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

These are all the exact same views that Francis held, almost to the word. The truth is that the Overton Window of the Roman Catholic Church is incredibly narrow. When we talk about a Cardinal being "liberal" or "conservative" that is within this context. In terms of the secular world, the Roman Catholic Church is extremely conservative, even among the most "liberal" cardinals and Popes. Catholics all believe in Catholic dogma, even if they are lenient in how it is applied.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago

Oh, just like they did in Nazi Germany back then, measuring skulls to find inferior people. They called it "Rassenhygiene" back then. It is amazing to see how many Nazi Germany ideas they unearth and recycle in the US nowadays.

Those two skull outlines just look like they were photographed with a different focal length or something. There is no way skull morphology is this strongly affected by sex.

Aside from the obvious, one of the problems with Transvestigators is that they think all kinds of ridiculous people are trans. Frank Zappa, The Rock, Scarlett Johansson, the guy who plays Mac from It's Always Sunny, JK Rowling, Shaquille O'Neal.

Shaq, for god's sake!

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Transvestigators: "Trans X will never be real X!"

Also transvestigators: "Trans X are apparently so functionally indistinguishable from biological X that you can't tell the difference from thousands of hours of footage (including their voice) from public appearances and paparazzi voyeurism taken at almost every possible angle over dozens of years, including childhood pictures. Instead you need to resort to convoluted, pseudoscientific, irreproducibly arbitrary, per-person diagrams of what you allege is their skeleton. This applies to dozens of celebrities. But they'll never be a real X tho!"

Transvestigators are scum, but I feel if I were trans that these "investigations" of obviously and openly cis people would make me feel more affirmed than basically any other form of external validation.
