Anthropology can get you thrown in jail

A woman in Brazil is being investigated for ‘criminal transphobia’. Why? Because she said that you can tell women from men by looking at their bones, specifically the pelvic bones.

“The situation was, there was an article going around about the bones belonging to the fossil of Lucy, and how the archaeologists found out that she was a woman, because of the pelvic bone,” Mizuno said. “Trans activists were saying that attesting that Lucy was a woman, because of her female pelvic bone, was transphobia. In other words, they said she could be a trans man. They really think that someone who lived three million years ago had a ‘gender identity.’ It’s an unreasonable argument, an anachronism.”

She (Mizuno) made fun of the trans activist who talked about transphobia and posited that Lucy could have been a ‘trans man’.

This is the blurring of the lines between a gender identity and biological reality that epitomizes the disconnect from science that its adherents have. And people are getting arrested and investigated for hurting their feelings by stating reality.

  1. I guarantee you… IF a Neanderthal were to “trans”… the others would have introduced it to “Social Darwinism” in a Devonian Minute.

    But hey… that’s really pure conjecture on my part.

  7. i am amazed that mankind survived at all with that volcano eruption that almost did us all in. I guess enough people decided to get together and start working together. That changed everything

    1. Stefan–Again, screeding. I do not like the word you are using to describe gay folks. As an FYI, there are those that are as confused about the queer movement that has taken over as the rest of us.
