Nice! Glad to see they made their correction public. Not really sure how they could have screwed that up so badly though, aren’t male & female skeletons different enough that they’re recognizable? Or isn’t that a thing?

Here is an excellent essay that discusses some of the history and issues with sexing based on bones over the years from an anthropologist.

TL;DR: Better now, not always clear cut, had issues before 1972 of people just assuming ‘male’ instead of “I don’t know.”

Thanks for linking that! It hadn’t occurred to me that there would (of course!) be an overlap for intersex individuals. Totally makes sense.

I think the bones may have been in bad condition.

Witches vs Patriarchy

r/WitchesVsPatriarchy is a nonbinary-centered sub with a witchy twist, aimed at healing, supporting, and uplifting one another through humor and magic.

The goal is to at once embrace, and poke fun at, the mystical aspects of androgyny that have been previously demonized and/or devalued by the Patriarchy.
