[NEWS] 5,000 year old transgender skeleton found!

[King Tøny]

"Archaeologists have discovered a 5,000-year-old skeleton which they believe may be the remains of a transgender person.

The male skeleton was found in a suburb of Prague and is buried in a manner previously only seen for female burials.

Men’s bodies from that age and culture are usually found buried with their heads towards the west and with weapons.

But this skeleton was found with its head towards the east and was surrounded by domestic jugs – as women’s bodies from the time are usually found. "


It's almost as if they aren't accounting for "humiliation"

It's almost as if they aren't accounting for "humiliation"

You're assuming the society which buried him would consider femininity applied to a male humiliating the same way we do; rule number one in anthropology and archaeology is not to make assumptions about distant cultures. In fact, this story is sensationalized--there is definitely room to investigate the Corded Ware culture's approach to love/gender in relation to this burial, but to call it a transgender skeleton (or gay caveman as an article I found says) is jumping to conclusions.

Tony you're just as sensational and misleading as CNN.

They also say don't make ridiculous claims like a 5,000 year old transgender skeleton.
