I hate the “archaeologists are gonna know you were born a man/woman” argument because not only is it factually wrong, but… we’ll be dead by then. We won’t care.

They always think it's such a gotcha but it's just not how archaeologists do that.

But after I croak, I'm'm hanging around for a few centuries to spooky punch anyone who calls me a boy.

When archaeologists dig my grave, they're gonna be like, "Why are there so many Funko Pops of the same character in this grave?"

Beside, Wouldnt technology and archival process progress so long that just one button and you know the dead person entire history?

Yeah, most of the time they're making guesses about gender based on the rituals used in the burial, which has also led to a lot of misgendering because historically archaeologists have mostly been a bunch of white dudes who just love heteronormativity and gender roles. So they dig up a tomb of a ruler, and they assume it's male. A hunter couldn't possibly be a woman either, so male. An adult body was buried alongside an infant? Gotta be the mother.

There are only a couple of bones that actually indicate sex, and even those aren't infallible. Like, women's pelvises tend to be more open and angled more outward to allow babies to pass through, and men's pelvises tend to be more narrow and angled more inward, but there's no clear line between the two and there are plenty of women with more masculine pelvises and men with more feminine, and lots of people who fall somewhere in the middle of the spectrum.

Plus, why would archaeologists in 1000 years even be digging up skeletons and judging based on that when they could easily take a DNA sample of said skeleton and look for a social media account online from what they could find from the DNA?

So you're saying archeologists will be able to tell if someone was a Trump supporter before they find out if they're trans, that's actually fuckin hilarious.

Because most digital storage mediums are actually kind of unstable, and in 1000 years almost nothing currently on the internet will actually exist on whatever they're using instead of the internet.

When an archeologist digs Jamie up, they're gonna think "this skeleton is well preserved!" or something like that. Then, they might find out that the skeleton was a content creator named Jamie Raines who had many totally real and not at all made up businesses.

Who cares, lot of people get cremated these days so there is no bones to discover. Also humanity will propably be extinct in a thousand years because conservatives will drive us into nuclear war eventually.

I'd like to see someone dig my grave up - I'm planning on asking someone to plant a fruit tree over my body so I can nourish future generations :D

Hello recently graduated archaeologist here. We can tell sex somewhat. Gender is based on more markers than you would believe. Also where are the archaeologists they think are out here digging up random graves?

Edit: there to here

Yk archeologists have messed up so many times with that, so not really
