"I'm trans!" "Well, you know, 1000 years from now someone might misgender your skeleton." "Oh. Oh no. Dear god. This changes everything!" "Really?" "No."

False! Males have one less rib than females, and are made of mud.

Meanwhile skeletons are constantly getting misgendered bc of our own modern view of gender presentation lol. I remember one famous case of a warrior's tomb that was assumed to be a man bc of course only men can ever be warriors! But then oops years later they realized it was a woman

Damn, Bad. I remember I debated evolution vs. creationism one time in Grade 11, and someone threw up this argument and I was like, "What? No. Women don't have different bones than men. Why would you think that?" and they came back with Adam in Genesis and I just talked about how these are fictiveโ€ฆ

Could people please to getting their education from a religious fanfiction ffs? It's not that hard to do mild research to realize that information is, in fact, incorrect because it was written back when anatomy wasn't even a thing yet. People like this are why church and state need to stay separate.

And then they extract DNA to bring the human back to life and they're still trans. Transphobe Scientist: "in a 1,000 more years they'll say it's a male skeleton!" Her: "Is this a Wendy's archeological DNA lab? Sir, this is a Wendy's."

Tbh it's just as likely they'd misgender the transphobe. Because that's how imprecise judging gender via skeletons is. So the transphobe might as well kill themselves since there's no point to living if there's a chance to be misgendered via skeleton 1000 years from now, right?

What's funny is that a full-grown human's skeleton will errode away within 20-25 years if no means are made to preserve them. Even in a grave, they'll only last for about 100 years
