Anthropologists from the largest associations of anthropologists in the world canceled an event discussing the importance of biological sex in the context of studying the human skeleton while citing "transphobia" as the reason for the panel being cut.
The American Anthropological Association (AAA) and The Canadian Anthropology Society (CASCA) were skewered for walking back their approval for a panel event at its 2023 conference discussing biological sex. The AAA and CASCA said that it was now tightening its review process to ensure such an event wouldn't recur in the future.
The event in question discussed "Sex identification whether an individual was male or female – using the skeleton is one of the most fundamental components in bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology."
One of the speakers who was slated to attend, Elizabeth Weiss, an anthropology professor at San José State University, said in an interview with FOX News Digital that the field has been nose-diving into an "off the rails" agenda, with activists pushing for some facts to be replaced with feelings. As anthropologists have developed more precise metrics to determine the sex of the human skeleton they study in the field, the more they get attacked for knowing and being able to determine those differences, she said.
FOX News Digital contacted the heads of the AAA and CASCA. The AAA released a comment to FOX which said, "There is no place for transphobia in anthropology."
It went on to claim that the science of biological sex was not settled and that sex was not binary.

Ive said it a thousand times. These people wont stop until we inflict physical violence upon them. Until then , this is modern society.
I saw something on twitter the other day. The thing where a woman can lean her head against a wall so her legs are vertical and her body horizontal. Then she pulls a chair up to her chest and stands up.
Then they brought a guy in and he couldn’t do it. I imagine it must be in the difference in the design of the hips/pelvic bone.
I thought for SURE the video with somebody looking like a woman and not being able to do it - because they were trans. Nope - just men and women, with all sorts of laughs when the men couldn’t do it.
Hmm. This gal probably will want that video taken down!
These crackpots are following in the footsteps of Lysenko. Science as the handmaid to leftist ideology. They need to be laughed at everywhere they speak....
A civilization that abandons objective reality has no purpose in continuing to exist.
Follow the pseudoscience.
You’re exactly right. There is a threshold beyond which the delusional and frankly, evil become so consumed with their insanity that they cannot return from it. The question is will we just sit idly by while they twist and corrupt every facet of society, including the minds of innocent children, or will we expel them from the normal world (and I really don’t care how that is done)?
What would you do if you came upon an escaped mental patient trying to force your child to accept his warped sexual perversions, and telling him (or her) to keep what they discussed secret and not tell their parents? In even a marginally just world that maniac would meet his mortal end at precisely that moment.
Males and females have vastly different pelvic bones. Human Osteopathy 101. The differences are so obvious and pronounced, even a layman would be able to identify the sex of a skeleton by first looking at the pelvis. It’s the very first thing you’d look at.
Women have “child bearing” hips. Their pelvic bones are designed specifically to bear children and when looking at this bone, the difference between a man and woman are so clearly obvious that it would take an anthropologist all of 30 seconds to teach this.
This is unbelievable. We are living in Clown World. Objective reality is replaced by subjective feelings. Everything presented as science now is essentially bullshit.
I'll be glad to check out of this lunatic asylum when my time comes.
This is lunacy.
Actual gender dysphoria is endocrine based and typically accompanied by a rare genetic disorder. It was not until the last few years that feelings or whims became sufficient to declare someone as trans.
Gender dysphoria is irrelevant in determining whether someone is male or female on a DNA level. Even the most rare XXY, XYY, X/partial X are either male or female.
Well, maybe there wasn't before ... but now there is!
violence from the mentally ill. Why are we entertaining thier mental illness, enough!
>Follow the pseudoscience.<
It looks like the anthropologists themselves just declared anthropology is not a science. Science does not bow down to a tantrum of the few.
EC
The joints in the jawbone are usually completely worn out. Dead giveaway.
Someone needs to stand athwart history and yell, “Stop!!!”
Surely you don’t believe your lying eyes, do you?
The news about the anthropologists is terrible because it shows how frightened everybody is of these trans nutcases. They really are a terrifying group, very prone to rage and physical violence…and supported by the US Government.
They’re rage comes precisely from the fact that biology itself in its physical expressions, such as skeletons, shows that they can never be what they want to be and the only way to pretend even to themselves is to force all the rest of us, even or perhaps especially scientists, to deny reality. And that is only accomplished through fear.
Transexual skeletons! Wow!
It is actually quite easy to distinguish male and female skeletons. Almost all bones are at least slightly different.
Pelvis, femur, tibia are very different. And women are more flexible, while men are more muscular, which is reflected in almost every bone.
But, we do not need stinking science!
“Anthropologists from the largest associations of anthropologists in the world canceled an event …”
Sciencephobia!!! That’s the answer!!!
This trick was on All In The Family years ago. Gloria told Meathead she could do something he couldn’t do.
