I don't know if this has been discussed here already, but what is the trans stance on how their remains would be classified in anthropological/archeological terms. As I understand it men and women are skeletally different, so how would say a transwoman be identifiable from their remains and how would they square that circle in terms of not being identified as the male they were?

Say in a future excavation of a graveyard where documentation needs to be made, would it be assumed that a mistake had been made, and the wrong person buried in a grave — would there then need to be investigations about who was where? I've clearly been watching too many crime shows but wondered what the trans stance on this would be.

I actually did argue with some woman on a Facebook group who was flapping on about people's gender identities and I said it's ultimately pointless because when you die, no one gives a shit about your identity because your skeleton will be either male or female. Didn't get much of a response to that point for some reason......
As I've said before, biology, science and reality aren't really their strong points.

Their gender ghosts will roam this mortal world causing mayhem and people will have to hire gender spirit mediums (lucrative business!) to find the correct gender identity (out of 100 so far...) for the male/female skeleton so the gender ghost can finally rest in peace in a gender neutral burial site.
