And bones as I have linked before are not a reliable indicator half of the time. Some men have wide hips.
Hormones on a teenager undergoing puberty can also alter bone structure.

Girls don’t have penises.
If you find guys who dress up in girls clothes attractive then you’re a homosexual and in denial of the fact. You don’t need to create all this melodramatic garbage in order to be accepted, just admit to yourself that you’re gay.
We don’t hate on people for their sexual preference, we hate on those feeding children with nonsensical unscientific garbage in order to legitimise their sexual fantasies. Or men who want to trash womens rights just to pander to their feelings and desires.
The intricacies of sexual fetish and normalisation of mental illness shouldn’t be taught to children in schools.
As you said, you can’t help what’s going on in your mind. That’s the only place any of this makes sense, hence I’ve said repeatedly this is a psychological condition that should be treated as such. You have the audacity to criticise others for not bending to your will. You’re right about one thing, we don’t understand your position. That’s likely because we’re not the ones suffering from mental illness. I don’t speak or understand crazy, sorry.

There is a lot of science out there that disagrees with you in regards to determining sex via bones:
National Library of Medicine
Live Science
Determining Sex from Cremated Remains
Identify Gender by Skull
I could post more, but that should suffice I hope.
Indeed, if you only have a few bones, then determining sex can be a guesstimate only, but with a whole or majority of a skeleton? or even the important tale-tell pieces? The rates are incredibly high, but in reality, no one gets it right 100% of the time - there are always factors that can mislead or simple human error.
But to say under 50%? That flies in the face of documented accuracy and evidence in the field of forensic anthropology, not just archeology.
Yes, there are professionals out there that claim you can't determine sex by a skeleton, I found those articles to and have read them as well. The problem is, you can always find people who will dispute well documented facts to support someone agenda. These articles make it clear their agenda is to muddy the waters to try and convince you there are no differences between male and female skeletons. They are light on facts that actually dispute all the opposing documents and evidence.
I've seen youtube videos of professors claiming the same thing - that there are no differences between males and females. But those claims fly false in the light of reality. The differences are well documented and even ancient people knew the differences between men and women.
And since this IS a conspiracy site, let me add:
I get this is all inconvenient in the current climate, it doesn't support the popular agenda being pushed in our culture right now. They are going through the playbook, page by page to destabilize society, undermine science, weak morals and ethics, destroy religion and keep us fighting amongst ourselves while those who are in charge gather more power and advance their goals.

stomac ulcer. pain in neck and shoulders.
most of the time caused by the psyche acting on the body.
Are you trying to tell me your psychology, your lifestyle decisions if you will, is totally disconnected from how well your body is doing?

I wonder what kind of professionals are they! Have come across one anthropologist who made similar claims but it was refuted by everyone else.
I don't know why the conversation evolves into this sort of matters. Those who have an agenda little they care about facts but cherry pick and take out of context bits that suit their arguments.
How desperate someone is to argue you can't know the sex of a person looking at their bones in a n effort to argue in a broader context sex can't be determined easily.

Having a child and bringing them to term and raising a family is a statement about your sexual preference, because it fits in the norm you're okay with it but it's still sexualizes girls and boys. It just sexualizes them in the way you accept as truth. You think all children do not understand how babies are made at least in some effect?
Also if you believe removing all sexual education from those who have not yet reached the age of 18 literally will cause sexual chaos where children who have urges will not understand how to do things properly and end up in situations where perhaps they didn't want to.
Because if we need to keep all sexual preference in the bedroom then you cannot speak about a man and a woman raising a family because that is a sexual preference, just one of many I know a very popular one albeit but just because it's the most popular doesn't mean it gets a pass.

No human hermaphrodites ever existed on this planet--
To be a hermaphrodite you must have the repoductive organs of both sexes-- as a result you can get pregnant and be able to impregnate other humans-
Is this sarcasm?
..because it is false
Hermaphrodites are not all that uncommon
Hermaphrodites with both packages fully functional is very rare, but do exist.
I know a kid right now. She has testicles inside and the other part is normal.
The doctor says she won't be able to reproduce normally as an adult.
Hermaphrodites are in a bunch of weirdo porn too...someone said..lol
I find the topic interesting. Is it more than a birth defect ?
Or could it be an adaptation?
I don't know myself if this is sarcasm--
Can you name one human hermaphrodite--
The clue is in what you've written-- 'won't be able to reproduce normally as an adult'
A hermaphrodite is a person who can get pregnant-- and be able to impregnate others--
There is no human with these properties--
study.com...
People are not hermaphrodites. Due to inadequate levels of testosterone while in the womb or the lack of certain enzymes during puberty, humans can be intersex individuals. Intersex individuals have external genitalia that do not match the sex of their internal reproductive system. It is rare, however, for this sex development disorder to occur among humans. And although some intersex adults can have children of their own following reconstructive surgery, other intersex adults are infertile.
You're confusing a genetic-developmental disorder (intersex)-- with hermaphroditism--

There is no such thing.
You were born a male or a female.
Very few are hermaphrodite.
When you are long dead and they find your remains, they will know you as a male or a female.
Why do you seek to redefine yourself as something else?
You were born perfect.
It takes a lifetime to get to know oneself.
Why do you reject what you are in order to identify as something other than what you were born as?
And for those who are members of this prideful group whose name is riddled with meaningless letters, why do you demand acceptance for something you know is off-putting to many?
Understand their comfort in the norm.
Do not push your oddity unto them demanding acceptance, then act surprised at backlash.
Physically altering your body with surgery or chemical injections is not the answer you seek.
It will not bring you the peace you seek.
Only knowing and accepting yourself as you are will.
This is not a reproach.
I am simply expressing myself.
I do not understand this modern movement.
I am concerned for the young who may be fooled into this mindset by the colorful parades and claims of "love and acceptance" when they display quite the contrary.
Edit: I may have meant transgender. I see no difference. I admit I am ill informed on the matter as I consider the whole thing to be of little value.

You made a completely false claim. There are too human hermaphrodites.
We used to call them hermaphrodites
And even a person of one gender or the other, who has reproductive organs, might not be able to produce offspring. You have heard of infertility problems, I trust.
I don't think so--
Human hermaphodites don't exist-- we used to call them hermaphodites but it was wrong--
Intersex is the name given-- this is a serious medical condition-genetic developmental disorder--
my.clevelandclinic.org...#:~:text=No.,that%20term%20derogatory%20and%20stigmatizing.
Is a person who is intersex a hermaphrodite?
No. Hermaphrodites don’t exist. That is an outdated term implying that a person is both fully male and fully female, which isn’t biologically possible. In fact, many people who are intersex consider that term derogatory and stigmatizing. Intersex and being intersex are the correct terms.
You don't know what you're talking about--
