Transphobic sex-purists think the perfect male/female bodies are built like Disney characters

but what about the Green M&M?

[–] JustJack23@slrpnk.net 12 points 5 hours ago

That's their research material

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Those two skull outlines just look like they were photographed with a different focal length or something. There is no way skull morphology is this strongly affected by sex.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

Yeah... Like there'd be a bit more credence if the guy was going after the pelvis but... You'd have to either xray or extract the pelvis for that.

At school we had a thing where if your ring finger was longer than your index finger then it meant you were a bummer. Never mind the fact that you can change that with slight angling of the hand.

This is what those kids are doing now.

I love their little diagrams showing us just how fucking wrong they are.

"That's a female skull! (As long as you ignore 40% of the bone mass)"

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 6 hours ago

literally just the skulls of disney characters

We need a cultural revolution because who the fuck in their American minds decided this?

THE UNPROMISING RACE PUPIL RETURNS

Stupidest science ever. How do you even read bullshit like this? Maybe I should probe for a bulge where “criticism” is.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 6 hours ago

it's real, you can confirm it by denting their skull in the area associated with "reasoning, causality, planning" and observe them fall insensate to the ground

Does this imply women have bigger brains?

[–] lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com 8 points 10 hours ago

Guess what... The media is not even covering this!!!

That's right! The skull goes in the square hole

Wow. True Nazi science. And all in a day like May 9th 2025.

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 161 points 19 hours ago (28 children)

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.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 15 points 8 hours ago

The most reliable way to sex a skeleton is to be interested in what they're interested in, and not say stuff like "ay, babey, you'd looked better with more meat on those bones!" Otherwise, just ride the vibe and see where the mood takes you.

[–] arrow74@lemm.ee 44 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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.

The show Bones had a lot of weirdness, but I did appreciate that they consistently (at least the first few seasons when I was watching) stripped the bones down and even had a bug guy on staff to do it efficiently.

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

So according to this person's little diagrams, women have a larger area for the brain.
