Shave your bones

The original of course:
I'm getting cremated, so the only identifier will be my name. I also want to get cremated alongside my life partner (assuming I find her) and have our ashes mixed together in the same urn so that we can be together and inseparable for eternity. So archeologists would discover an urn with our names on it, and will have no information beyond that :3
It can be very hard to tell gender from bones archaeologically, even gender assigned at birth.
Specialists use the terms "gracile" vs "robust" because that's what they're actually seeing, not female vs male.
There have been some famous mis-identifications like the triple burial at dolni vestonice that was thought to be a husband and wife, maybe with a shaman who failed to save a baby, since the third person's hand was in the woman's crotch. Then ancient genetics confirmed they all had Y-chromosome. Oops!
bruh what if i have female skeleton
😍
Who is the artist and is there more of them? <3
I'm gonna be real with you, I don't actually give a shit if someone misgenders me 1000 years from now. And my spooky skeleton remains won't care either.
but what if ur called up from the void for jury duty and it just so happens your boneses are in the My Little Pony Museum with the wrong gender attached and also people think you were/knew all about your super fandom of MLP
IIRC from the last time I dug through my murder pit, it's really hard to tell, if not impossible. Only real way is to remember where you put them.
i pity future archeologists who still assign human genders based on bones. how little must their socity have progressed, if not regressed to still think in such opressive ways? how much potential must have been wasted?
