Dumbasses shoulda just removed a rib from one of them to indicate it as a male and made by intelligent design and not evolution.
As someone who likes to see the good in the world, I’d say: “checkmate, transphobes, who claim that archaeologists won’t be able to identify my gender via skeleton”.
Transphobes: This is totally new, people made it up a few years ago.
Also transphobes: If ancient people were like this there’s no way we could tell.
isnt it the transphobes who say that archeologists will (incorrectly) assume your gender based on your skeleton?
The bone-boobs came from a gender affirming surgery.
Yeah, I assumed that the bone-boobs were included in gender-affirming surgery.
Sorry, if my joke wasn’t as thought through as it should have been. Hadn’t had lunch back then. 😅
There was actually a thing where out of like 27 skeletons randomly selected for a study, only TWO were confirmed to be female & male respectively. There were like 10 total that were thought to be male & female but the other ~15 they had no idea!

lol there’s no nipples, that’s an ad for a bra.
“Our line of bras are so comfortable and durable that you’ll still be getting all the support you need with them even in the afterlife!”
Can anyone with actual knowledge confirm if that’s a pelvis capable of squeezing out babies? Or did they pay boobs on a male skeleton?
Skeletons can’t be infallibly sexed because sexual characteristics aren’t binary, including the shape of the skeleton. They are usually gendered using multiple clues
I just sort of expected all demonstration skeletons to be super typically male, because some male with a tophat as big as his sexism came up with it in the 1800s. Generally, my pessimistic assumptions about this end up true.
But yeah, I realize in my pessimism I overshot into the wrong direction.

in one instance, sure? that can’t be generalized to all populations, nor does it account for intersex individuals
Edit: This one is way more relevant https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1155/2015/908535
Edit: The context here is a stupid gotcha by transphobes, and how it isn’t even correct. Keep in mind in the future when they find our bones that our current society is very mobile and global. I don’t exactly live in the same place as the rest of my family, so they will only have random assorted skeletons from people from lots of different places to compare to and will therefore have reduced accuracy when guessing my natal sex.
Wow, thanks for sharing. I was definitely under the impression that skeletons could be identified with at least a reasonable amount of certainty. (Though maybe what I thought I knew was that women who had children could be identified?)
Either way, I appreciate the links!
They had those supernarrow Balkan pelvises, though.
Balkan men are like Shakira: their hips don’t lie.
My completely amateur reading of it is that they’re both male, but I’m no expert.
Don’t be fooled by those big ol’ socialist bone titties.
could be bone moobs
edit: couldn’t stop thinking about anatomically incorrect skeletons and now I kinda want to make one with a beer belly, and have it in a lawn chair with beer bottles and maga shit.
Silicone mineralizes easily… on geological timescales.
Nice work, bone daddy.
naw those are like - two white hats on there
Wait, if someone has breast implants and their body decomposes, what happens to the implants? do they just say on top of the skeleton like jellyfish or something?
It’s just really cold outside, ok?
The rib bone’s connected to the boob bone
