Too often missing in debates about the science of gender is the *vast* anthropological evidence out there.

Yet there are 1000s of years of historical records, in cultures on every continent, recognizing non-binary gender or transgender people.

This information deserves more weight than it gets.

Anthropological information *is* scientific data. Historical records of comets and supernovae are used in astronomy.
-
Archaeological digs and folk legends are used in geology.

So when people erase trans identities by saying "it's science!" they usually have *no idea* what they're talking about.
