  Humans have sexual dimorphism, but it’s a cultural thing that women wear skirts and men drink themselves to death instead of talking about their problems.

  Also, genetics is tricky, there a plenty of examples of people who do not fall into one category or another for these sexually dimorphic traits. There are people who have genetics from both sex, as well and differences in hormones distributions will causes these traits to appear or not appear.

  Is a huge grey area.

    Anyone who doubts this should look up Emily Quinn. She’s an intersex woman who spreads awareness that people like her exist. She’s biologically male but due to Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome she developed phenotypically female.

  You’re confusing sex with gender

    I want a sex reveal party. Who’s having sex in the bedroom right now? Let’s find out!

    Which no one would then know at the point of a typical gender reveal party.

      A baby is a baby!

        People generally expect you to have an excuse, though. Otherwise, you get your one baby shower (only the first baby!) and anything else is tacky. I think that’s why gender reveals caught on so fast. The parents and, maybe, grandparents are grasping at excuses to celebrate. And why people find them so cringe in general. Everyone else is a bit annoyed you’re getting more than your one party.

        That’s called a baby shower.

  The anthropologist might see skeletal differences but they’d also pay attention to the manner in which the subject was buried or what possessions survived with them that could also serve as clues of the subject’s identity in life.

    Exactly; for instance, if two people of the same (biological) sex were buried together, it means they were definitely just very good friends.

      Perhaps even roommates.

        Bert and Ernie?

        Oscar and Gil?

  It’s a cultural anthropologist, obviously! :)

• Laticauda@lemmy.ca ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  You’re thinking of an archaeologist not an anthropologist, and skeletal differences are related to sex not gender.

  Not in a fetus.
