You see, this is what happens when you deny the enfeebled an outlet for their sexual frustrations.

Get them hooked up and all this will go away and no bones about it.

Human skeletons have distinctive differences according to their biological sex and it is also possible to determine a broad outline of the deceased's race. Gender is now a largely meaningless term, mainly determined by an individual's opinion. Since human remains have no opinion, assigning a gender is inappropriate and it's best to stick to biological sex. Similarly, race (at least as far as can be determined by a skeleton) is a matter of fact. Unfortunately those with a "woke" agenda frequently want to deny or at least refuse to accept fact, preferring instead to encourage or bully others into accepting various fictions. This seems to be part of that agenda.

they have a point: recently a Viking skeleton, buried with weapons and warhorses and so forth, turned out to be female.

Likewise a pair of hand-holding "lovers" turned out to be both male

Archaeologists can let their prejudices get in the way of facts. This isn't to say sex should be ignored; what's needed is more science, not less.

Why is the Daily Mail so obsessed with gender ?

[tomus42]

Because it's readers are gromit. Or it might be the other way around. Chicken egg thing. Who cares.

Anyway, what was the question? I agree with NJ I think. He usually says what I would do on these matters if I had the patience to actually write it.

Tomus, are you sure you understood NJ's post? He's actually criticising these idiots - not making light of it as you seem to be.
