Professor Woke Pittsburgh claims that there is NO difference between male and female skeletons
An anthropology professor at the University of Pittsburgh denied the difference between male and female skeletons to derisive laughter from students during a talk by college swimming champion Riley Gaines.
Gabby Yearwood is a professor whose research focuses on “the social constructs of race and racism, masculinity, gender, sex, Black Feminist and Black Queer theory, anthropology of sports and Black Diaspora” according to his biography.
Gaines, a rising star on the conservative-speaking circuit, is an advocate for banning student athletes born biological males from women’s sports. She recently spoke at the school and posed a question to her audience.
“If you were to dig up a human being—two people—in a hundred years’ time, both male and female, would you be able to tell the difference without bones?”
Yearwood replies, “No” to the laughter of the students in the audience, as well as Gaines.

Yearwood doubles down, saying he’s the “expert in the room” on the subject.
“Have any of you been to anthropological sites? Have any of you studied biological anthropology? I’m just saying, I have over 150 years of data, I’m just curious why I’m being laughed at,” he said.
At one point, Yearwood exclaims, “I have a PhD!”
The Independent Women’s Forum, which posted the clip, wrote: ‘The left is so far from reality that they have to deny basic scientific facts.
‘[Gaines] may not have a PhD in anthropology like Professor Yearwood, but she and her teammates know firsthand the physical advantages of biological males over females,” they added.
According to the Smithsonian, “Mbeers generally have larger, more robust bones and joint surfaces, and more bone development at muscle attachment sites. However, the pelvis is the best sex-related skeletal indicator, due to its various features adapted for childbearing.
“The skull also has features that can indicate sex, albeit slightly less reliably.”
They note that sex-related differences are not apparent in the bones of prepubescent children.

However, Discover Magazine notes that skeletal studies related to sex can lead to “profound errors” and ignore the existence of intersex individuals, who are born with a mix of X and Y chromosomes.
DailyMail.com has contacted Yearwood for comment on the incident.
Gaines spoke about her experience competing against transgender women competing on female sports teams after being forced to compete against University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas.
Earlier this year, Gaines criticized President Joe BIden for proposing to change the definition of “sex” in a federal civil rights law to include “gender” and “gender identity.”
The amendments to Title IX, the 1972 law prohibiting gender discrimination in schools or other educational programs receiving funding from the federal government, would therefore allow transgender female athletes to compete against biological women in sports.
Doing so, Gaines wrote in an essay, would put biological women at a disadvantage when competing against transgender women.
Gaines took the opportunity to share how she had to share a locker room with Thomas during the NCAA Championships in March.
Gaines became a rising star on the conservative-speaking circuit after recently taking part in a panel discussion hosted by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to keep student athletes born biological males out of women’s sports

She wrote, “During the NCAA Championships, I saw a 6’4” man expose male parts in our women’s locker room.
“To be clear, the anatomy I and many other women had to see confirms that Thomas is male.”
Gaines said she then asked National Collegiate Athletic Association officials where she could change “since I had no intention of undressing in front of a man.
“They told me there was no protection for me to change in a room Thomas couldn’t access.
“Basically, the NCAA places the responsibility on women to avoid stripping naked in front of a biological man with biological parts who is sexually attracted to women. Let that sink in for a moment.’
Thomas’s participation in the UPenn girls’ swim team has brought the issue of transgender students’ involvement with school sports teams of their chosen gender to the forefront of current culture wars
Conservative efforts to tackle transgender participation in school sports have gained momentum in recent years, especially since Lia Thomas’s emergence.
It has become a new culture war front and even came up as a campaign issue in several races during the 2022 election.
The left and LGBTQ activists have pushed back, claiming that policies that force students to participate in school activities designated by biological sex — rather than gender identity — are repressive on transgender youth.
Currently, 18 states have laws prohibiting students from participating in school sports that align with their gender identity, according to the LGBT CARD project.
