I'm confused. The announcement speaks as if sex estimation makes any assumption about the gender of the person? Now I'm no native speaker, but isn't the entire point of having two words in English that you can make factual anatomical statements about sex, while gender is a thing that can vary from sex and is "historically and geographically contextual, deeply entangled, and dynamically mutable" as the statement puts it? How is a statement about biological sex in any way a statement about gender?
- hwillis 3y agoIt sounds like the speaker was trying to argue against the usage of sex estimation. As you say, sex estimation seems like a good and working solution.
- Ensorceled 3y agoRead the statement from one of the members of the withdrawn session that is posted in another response. It clears things up.
- Simulacra 3y agoIt undermines the narrative that biological sex can be changed. A skeleton is either genetically XX or XY. That's all that can be determined because that's all there is.

- Simulacra 3y agoTrust the science, except when it comes to biological sex.
