1000 years later...This is a Male Skeleton

@RileyDay1993 Are you a paleontologist? Anthropologist?? Or are you getting your "science" from a popular TV show???

She wasn't especially tall. Her testosterone levels weren't unusually high for a woman. She was externally entirely female. But in the mid-1980s, when her chromosome results came back as XY instead of the "normal" XX for a woman, the Spanish national team ousted hurdler María José Martínez-Patiño. She was ejected from the Olympic residence and deserted by her teammates, friends, and boyfriend. She lost her records and medals because of a genetic mutation that wasn't proven to give her any competitive advantage.

. . .

In 1972, Kenneth Weiss, now a professor emeritus of anthropology and genetics at Pennsylvania State University, noticed that there were about 12 percent more male skeletons than females reported at archaeological sites. This seemed odd, since the proportion of men to women should have been about half and half. The reason for the bias, Weiss concluded, was an "irresistible temptation in many cases to call doubtful specimens male." For example, a particularly tall, narrow-hipped woman might be mistakenly cataloged as a man. After Weiss published about this male bias, research practices began to change. In 1993, 21 years later, the aptly named Karen Bone, then a master's student at the University of Tennessee–Knoxville, examined a more recent data set and found that the bias had declined: The ratio of male to female skeletons had balanced out. In part that might be because of better, more accurate ways of sexing skeletons. But also, when I went back through the papers Bone cited, I noticed there were more individuals categorized as "indeterminate" after 1972 and basically none prior.

Allowing skeletons to remain unsexed, or "indeterminate," reflects an acceptance of the variability and overlap between the sexes. It does not necessarily mean that the skeletons classified this way are, in fact, neither male nor female, but it does mean that there is no clear or easy way to tell the difference. As science and social change in the 1970s and '80s revealed that sex is complicated, the category of "indeterminate sex" individuals in skeletal research became more common and improved scientific accuracy.

@ElwoodBlues I posted about Jill Biden awarding a transgender a woman’s award

@specman And I asked if you had examined the DNA. And I gave you pointers about XXY, Turner's syndrome, genetic mosaicism, and androgen insensitivity syndrome. The science says not everybody fits into your two pigeonholes. But feel free to continue ignoring the science.

@ElwoodBlues
Shit, you made me a woman with that reply.....
floats off making weird gestures

@ElwoodBlues Has your "science" figured out what a woman is yet?

@RileyDay1993 Is this your way of telling us you're not an anthropologist and that you got your "science" from popular TV shows??

@sunsporter1649 Some people are born with XXY chromosomes and rudimentary versions of both kinds of sexual organs. Can you classify such people as either male or female? Or would you agree that the two exclusive binary categories don't quite fit all the complexity we see in life?

@sunsporter1649
been lookin at my penis all day. still not sure

@ElwoodBlues When you figure out what a woman is get back to us

@sunsporter1649 When you figure out which pigeonhole a hermaphrodite fits into, get back to us.

@RileyDay1993 With a microscope??

@ElwoodBlues
Looks in ketchup bottle

@specman And how many transgender people have genetic mosaicism or androgen insensitivity syndrome?

According to Dr. Anne Fausto-Sterling, a recognized expert in this field of study, 1-1/2 to 2% of all births do not fall strictly within the tight definition of all-male or all-female, even if the child looks "normal." In reaching her numbers, Dr. Fausto-Sterling counted all incidents of intersexuality, from mild to extreme. The incidence of children with mixed genitalia is pegged at 1 in 2,000 to 1 in 3,000, or 0.033 to 0.05 percent of all births.

Of all births, 1.5% to 2% "do not fall strictly within the tight definition of all-male or all-female." How do you know this person isn't one of those 1.5% to 2%??

Keep your hands out of your pants bro...

@ElwoodBlues is that the excuse you use? Look it’s really easy if you’re born with a dick you’re a man. If you’re born with a vagina then you’re a woman. If you’re born with both then sadly enough you’re born with a birth defect.

@specman So you're finally admitting the truth.

[b]Some people really don't fit into either of your two pigeonholes.[/b]

Call them names if it makes you feel better, but they are human beings protected under the laws of this nation.

@ElwoodBlues We all know which pigeonhole you fit into....

@ElwoodBlues what are you talking about?

@specman he has a thing for pidgeons now

@MasterLee Yeah I don’t know what he’s talking about

@ElwoodBlues
Hes goin wait a minute guys......im still not sure what these things are.

@MasterLee

@ElwoodBlues I'd say you wouldn't know science if it bit you on the ass.

@MasterLee I'd say you're proving my point, [b]LOL!!![/b]

@specman Why are these dudes wearing dresses, then?
