Identifying the sex of ancient remains must stop, woke academics are demanding. If they have their way, it will be a scientific disaster.

Excerpt:

Allowing modern social justice standards to trump basic biology could open up the field to a host of modern assumptions and potentially destroy scientific value for the sake of validating the beliefs of 21st century first-world activists. Some scientists refuse to take the issue sitting down and are fighting back against the ‘wokification’ of their fields.

One such academic is San Jose State archaeology professor Elizabeth Weiss, who described the elimination of gender classifications as 'ideologically-motivated fudging.'

In an interview with the College Fix, Weiss points out that the current rise in transgenderism in Western societies is a 'social and not biological' trend. Her remarks are backed up by statistics that show the majority of young people coming out as transgender do so in peer clusters, rather than as individuals who are diagnosed with gender dysphoria. "Retroactively de-sexing obscures this obvious fact," Weiss says.
