Identification?

For crying out loud.

Gender activists want scientists to stop categorising ancient human remains as either male or female – because they cannot be sure how the deceased identified themselves when they were alive.

This is the finale of the destruction of history. The concept of gender identification is a modern concept. It would not have occurred to people in the middle ages, for example. Besides, how someone identifies is neither her nor there. When archaeologists uncover a skeleton, they will easily identify the sex by the structure. This is immutable.

Woke warriors have also insisted that archaeologists no longer categorise the race of remains as this ‘contributes to white supremacy’.

See above.

Traditionally, when human remains are excavated, archaeologists determine traits such as age, gender and race using proven scientific methods such as bone structure and DNA analysis.

Quite.

I am reminded of the idiots in Pink News telling us that Anne Bonny and Mary Reid were lesbians. This is an evidence-free assertion with no basis in fact. That they cross dressed was not especially unusual for the time as women who wanted to live a more adventurous life, unrestrained by the shackles of societal norms, would disguise themselves as men to join the army or go to sea. It did not mean that they were transgender. There is evidence that these two were sexually attracted to each other. However, it was when they believed that they were the opposite sex. There is no evidence that this continued when they were both revealed as women and as they were both pregnant – presumably by Jack Rackham – when they were arrested, I think the only reasonable conclusion we can draw is that they were not lesbians.
