Science as we know it is dying. Being buried along with it are truth and reality. The question at this point is how long we as a nation and a society will tolerate the delusions that the mentally disturbed are trying to force upon us.
These delusions are reaching deep into every aspect of our lives. They are flat out lies that totally reject reality. The irony is that the left loves to scream “follow the science,” yet at every turn they not only ignore it, they try and substitute a new and false truth.
Anthropology is the scientific study of humanity, it’s concerned with human behavior, human biology, cultures, societies, and linguistics, in both the present and past, including past human species. Obviously, the examination of skeletal remains plays a role in these studies, which includes identifying those that are male and female.
Recently, two of the largest anthropology groups in the world, The American Anthropological Association, and the Canadian Anthropology Society (CASCA) had a planned a joint forum on "sex identification” conference cancelled. Skeletal remains have always been used by modern scientists to determine a deceased person’s sex. However, now gender identity lies have once again disrupted scientific truth.
The scientists that were scheduled to attend and speak at the forum received a letter from the two groups. The letter really didn’t elaborate as to why the conference was cancelled it simply stated:
The scientist were rightfully offended and prepared a written response to the groups.
When Fox News pressed the AAA as to why the conference was cancelled, they received this absurd response:
"The session was rejected because it was framed in ways that do harm to vulnerable members of our community. It commits one of the cardinal sins of scholarship, it assumes the truth of the proposition that it sets out to prove, namely, that sex and gender are simplistically binary, and that this is a fact with meaningful implications for the discipline.”
The AAA went on to say that identifying sex by skeletal remains was just an “estimation.”
One anthropology professor, Elizabeth Weiss, who works at San Jose State, was scheduled to take part in a panel discussion at the conference. She confided to Fox News that her profession has been invaded by “activists.”
Weiss is correct, transgenderism is definitely a social contagion. What I find especially shocking is that these two groups would even think about denying cold hard facts. If an anthropologist is looking at skeletal remains, there can only be two choices, male or female …. Period.
For the groups to entertain anything else is an outrage and it stains the relevancy of what they represent. Are these groups of “scientists” actually saying that now a male skeleton may not be male? That a female skeleton can’t be conclusively identified as female?
This is nothing more than what was once a respected profession, groveling to a delusional activist group. Allowing them to suffer their self-induced delusion is one thing, but denying what you know to be an absolute truth is inexcusable.
Elizabeth Weiss, an anthropology professor at San José State University, says that activists are taking over the field of anthropology and dismissing facts about biological sex.
