As Insty said, 'Anthropology used to be a science.'

A “Let’s Talk about Sex Baby: Why biological sex remains a necessary analytic category in anthropology” panel has been canceled by the American Anthropological Association and the Canadian Anthropology Society, which stated the topic would cause too much “harm.”

“This decision was based on extensive consultation and was reached in the spirit of respect for our values, the safety and dignity of our members, and the scientific integrity of the program,” states a Sept. 25 letter to the panelists from the two groups.

Translation of the second paragraph: "YOU SAID 'SEX' IS IMPORTANT AND BIOLOGICAL FACT!!  YOU TRIGGERED PEOPLE!!  AWAY WITH YOU!!"

Want proof?
The canceled scholars were set to focus on the fact that while “it has become increasingly common in anthropology and public life to substitute ‘sex’ with ‘gender,’ there are multiple domains of research in which biological sex remains irreplaceably relevant to anthropological analysis,” according to the panel’s description.

However in their letter scrubbing the presentation, the two groups stated the “reason the session deserved further scrutiny was that the ideas were advanced in such a way as to cause harm to members represented by the Trans and LGBTQI of the anthropological community as well as the community at large.”

"YOU HURT FEELINGS!  AWAY WITH YOU!!"

I get a 404 message for the college fix website. Evidently telling the truth got them attacked.
