Inside of you there are two wolves. One looks like a fox with owl makeup and the other like a puck-nosed shepherd dog with strabism.

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.

I mean I get it. Impossible to tell without skeletal boobs.

Complete tangent- I’m not up on the new lingo, is sex your presentation to the world, whether you’re xx or xy, or something else? Because I’ve been seeing quite a bit of conflation between sex and gender lately and it’s left me confused.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago

Typically, "sex" is used in reference to biological characteristics, and "gender" to sociological ones.

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

So an intersex person might one day discover that their gender doesn’t reflect their sex, but their sex has never actually changed, right? Or if someone were to receive full and adequately administered treatment for their gender dysphoria, their sex wouldn’t change? Just trying to completely peg down any edge cases.

To be clear, humans should be allowed to live comfortably in their own skin. Not jaqing off, just trying to become fully informed.

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.

[-] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 55 points 2 months ago

I'm surprised magas care so much about the pope considering they don't follow any christian morals or tenets.

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago

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

This ain't new

Ah, yes, the bastion of radical progressivism and LGBTQ+ rights, the.... Catholic Church?

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 40 points 2 months ago

When every single pope looks like a left-wing extremist to you, you may have strayed too far to the right.

[-] Pissmidget@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago

Looks like phrenology is back on the menu boys!

[-] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 30 points 2 months ago

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 15 points 2 months 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.

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 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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.

JK Rowling? 😂 why. Is her hatred for trans people just the same as closeted gays being anti gay?
