Be careful not to assume, or you might offend the dead emperor. <\/p>\n<p>These are the new rules being thrust upon academics, as chronicled by the conservative education-based publication The College Fix on Monday. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cGender activists push to bar anthropologists from identifying human remains as \u2018male\u2019 or \u2018female,&#8217;\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecollegefix.com\/gender-activists-push-to-bar-anthropologists-from-identifying-human-remains-as-male-or-female\/\">headline<\/a> reads. <\/p>\n<p>The paper outlines a movement in anthropology to adopt the left\u2019s new orthodoxy on sex, by which it already dishes out retribution against those who refuse to play along. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs soon as ancient human remains are excavated, archaeologists begin the work of determining a number of traits about the individual, including age, race and gender,\u201d The College Fix reported. \u201cBut gender activists argue scientists cannot know how an ancient individual identified themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A group called the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/transdoetaskforce.org\/\">Trans Doe Task Force<\/a>\u201d has begun the process of exploring \u201cways in which current standards in forensic human identification do a disservice to people who do not clearly fit the gender binary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe propose a gender-expansive approach to human identification by combing missing and unidentified databases looking for contextual clues such as decedents wearing clothing culturally coded to a gender other than their assigned sex,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/transdoetaskforce.org\/trans-doe-task-force-presenting-at-tpath-conference-converging-crises-in-transgender-activism-health-and-rights-in-2021\/\">reads<\/a> the mission statement. <\/p>\n<p>In other words, occasional cross-dressing, which is <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/04\/12\/i-hated-dresses-as-a-girl-thank-god-my-parents-didnt-deform-and-sterilize-me-for-it\/\">common<\/a> among children and adolescents today as it was hundreds of years ago, might be code for transgenderism. Thus a snapshot into the life of an ancient person for whom evidence suggests engagement in the practice must mean that individual was transgender and should be identified as such. <\/p>\n<p>That instant identification conforms with today\u2019s knee-jerk approach, which is enshrined by \u201cgender-affirming care,\u201d leaving people\u2019s questions about their own identity without scrutiny. Never mind that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.3109\/09540261.2015.1115754?scroll=top&#038;needAccess=true\">70 percent<\/a> of children today eventually outgrow their gender dysphoria. That number is likely far higher for children who exhibited signs of gender dysphoria more than 100 years ago in the absence of peer influences breeding what journalist Abigail Shrier explains in her investigative book \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Irreversible-Damage-Transgender-Seducing-Daughters\/dp\/1684510317\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Irreversible Damage<\/a>\u201d as a \u201csocial contagion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shrier\u2019s findings undermine the premise of this movement to redefine the sexual boundaries of the ancients by modern left-wing standards. While the existence of trans-identified people might not be unique to the 20th and 21st centuries, (the Roman Emperor Elagabalus <a href=\"https:\/\/penelope.uchicago.edu\/Thayer\/e\/roman\/texts\/cassius_dio\/80*.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reportedly<\/a> sought so-called sex-reassignment surgery), the sudden spike in those claiming alternate identities is. Even The New York Times has finally <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AbigailShrier\/status\/1535425628194738176?s=20&#038;t=HlouzHmEcT9iT3GP5xLzrw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">admitted<\/a> that much.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut there is something else, too,\u201d Shrier writes, explaining a contrast between the presence of homosexuality versus transgenderism over time, specifically as it relates to conversion therapy. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>We know homosexuality can\u2019t be eliminated through socialization\u2013because it hasn\u2019t been for thousands of years, in all kinds of cultures that specifically attempted to repress it. And we have voluminous records, throughout history, of gay writers, poets, leaders, and philosophers living under oppressive regimes, even battling their own homosexuality, unsuccessfully. We don\u2019t have any similar weight of history telling us that we can\u2019t treat gender dysphoria.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The concept of transgenderism, meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6yAnHFj4IK0\">remains a foreign<\/a> one among primitive tribes.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"WhnEUv0lfp2jVcO3ZgTe4imqGNxazsIwRkb17YKQXF\"><\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>There is already retribution, however, against academics who refuse to get on board with the trans movement\u2019s latest antics to erase sex with the assumption of widespread transgenderism among ancient people. <\/p>\n<p>Whether it be motivated by a bizarre fantasy of ancient people or an obsession of professors seeking tenure to prove who\u2019s more \u201cprogressive,\u201d proponents have already deployed familiar tactics to coerce their colleagues to adopt their practice and refuse projections of so-called gender identity onto uncovered remains. <\/p>\n<p>San Jose State Archaeology Professor Elizabeth Weiss was reportedly barred from her school\u2019s human remains collection and is now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecollegefix.com\/san-jose-state-professor-sues-school-after-department-called-her-racist-blocked-research\/\">engaged<\/a> in litigation to reclaim access, according to The College Fix. The lawsuit was filed after she opposed the repatriation of remains, but she is also a critic of efforts to erase gender descriptions of remains until ancient lifestyles can prove correspondence with a certain sex, <em>if<\/em> their individual lifestyle can even be studied. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver time, biological anthropologists and archaeologists worked hard to determine which traits are determined by sex, regardless of time and culture,\u201d Weiss told The College Fix. \u201cThis new policy of erasing this progress is a step back for science and women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSexing skeletal remains is a critical skill in forensics and any diminishing of this skill will negatively impact criminal investigations, denying the victims and their families justice,\u201d Weiss added. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Tristan Justice is the western correspondent for The Federalist.
