The hip bones are one of the more reliable methods of sex estimation, but it's still exactly that, an estimation.
Anyone who claims to be able to determine with certainty someone's sex from their skeletal structure is either misinformed/not properly educated on the subject or knowingly misrepresenting the facts to fit into their agenda. Responsible anthropologists will always treat it as an estimate/guess and never a concrete determinism.
