God fucking dammit these right wing dumbasses are really returning to scientific racism? Fucking hell any first year anthro student could tell you that while there is a measure of sexual dimorphism present in the human skeleton it varies wildly based on population/life history, it's very common to have robust skeletons that belong to females & more gracile skeletons that belong to males! That's why it's called a goddamn sex estimate! It's an educated guess at best! You just can't use the skeleton alone to "determine" someone's sex, that's not how it works!!

I was under the impression that the space between the hip bones was a pretty reliable estimate? I may be dumb (probably).

I think even the best methods are still only like 90% accurate, which could still easily hide lots of categories even of cis people in that remaining 10%
