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.

It’s science. We must respect it. /s
This isn’t something new, I remember seeing that done many years ago.
Mom, Dad, and I tried it; Mom could do it, Dad and I couldn’t.
Trans skeletons would show all kinds damage from the abuse of hormones, I would imagine.
Trans people are crazy. Why elevate that? Who convinced academia to normalize that insanity? I will never refer to a man as “she”, and will always laugh out loud at a man wearing women’s clothing.
In 300 years, when Persian and Chinese archaeologists are combing through the ruins of Los Angeles, they will open a tomb labelled “Jenner” and in it they will find the skeleton of a man, and two water balloons.
I wonder what they will make of it?
Wow! I haven’t seen or even thought of Andy Capp in 45 years!
You know why you should never criticize an anthropologist?
You’re liable to get jurassicked!
