They would prevent the ancient remains from being identified as female or male, since it is not known how the ancient people found in the given case would have identified themselves.
Archaeologists and anthropologists have long been able to determine whether a given body is male or female based on the size and shape of the bones, among other things.
But far-left activists now claim it's transphobic because experts don't know what gender ancient people identified as.
"The argument may be familiar that archaeologists who one day find your bones will assign you the same gender as you were born, so whether or not you transition, you cannot escape your assigned gender." complained Emma Palladino, a Canadian archeology student.
Unfortunately, this isn't just a student's crazy rant on Twitter, it's a growing movement.
Gender activists formed a group called the Trans Doe Task Force to "explore the ways in which current standards of forensic human identification harm people who do not fit neatly into the gender binary."
"We maintain our own database of missing and unidentified persons who we have determined may be transgender or have a gender variant identity, as most current database systems do not allow the comparison of missing and unidentified persons across different binary gender categories." - writes the group.
They also described that they want to establish this by using contextual clues, such as the clothing of the dead, to reveal whether they belong to a gender other than their culturally assigned gender.
