Blah.
Ms.G is all butthurt at me.
So, I was going to re-tumbl a picture on tumblr. It was a lateral aspect cranial projection radiograph of two people kissing. It had comments on it like "You can't tell from this if this is two boys, or two girls, or a boy and girl, or if they're trans or not" etc.
I noticed that a) one person had a dental implant. Easily recognized from the radiopacity difference of titanium vs bone. I was going to note this in my re-blog. I was also going to note that I, even without being an M.D., a D.D.S., or a physical anthropologist, could READILY distinguish that the person with the dental implant was male, and the other one was female. I was basing this on the shape of the brain-case (male brain case is more oblate, forehead is more sloping) features like the relative size of the mastoid process, the radiopacity of the bone itself (males have denser and thicker bone, so it absorbs more x-ray and is more white on the x-ray) The size of lower mandible, the size of the teeth, size and shape of the sub-orbital bones and the ocular cavities. Etc It's pretty basic stuff and you can look it up in any decent forensic pathology, radiology, or physical anthropology text book. This is a big part of how skeleton remains can be have their sex determined. I was also going to note the poster who posted the stuff about not being able to tell, that it was patently untrue it was not possible to tell, that maybe *they* could not tell, but only because they are obviously lacking the education to be able to do so. I was going to also note that like, you can call yourself whatever gender you want, use whatever pronouns you want, dress however you want, get a gender reassignment surgery, but that it will still ALWAYS be the case that one can tell from these kind of features.
Ms.G got butthurt and told me not to post it cause it might "hurt someone's feelings and cause them to self-harm or something". I think it's unlikely, and to be fucking honest, I don't really give a fuck if someone gets upset by a post on the internet stating well accepted scientific facts and their implications.
I'm not really asking SLR for advice here specifically in the context of a relationship or whatever, I'm more asking what does SLR think about the general idea? It is a dick move of me to post something like that? (I have not, cause of Ms.G) or is it a whiny and butthurt and suppression of expression to ask me not to do that on my personal blog?
