An anthropology professor at the University of Pittsburgh denied the difference between male and female skeletons to derisive laughter from students during a speaking engagement from college swimming champion Riley Gaines.
Gabby Yearwood is a professor whose research focuses on ‘the social constructions of race and racism, masculinity, gender, sex, Black Feminist and Black Queer theory, anthropology of sport and Black Diaspora’ according to his bio.
Gaines, a rising star on the conservative speaking circuit, is an advocate to keep student-athletes who are born biological males out of women’s sports. She spoke at the school recently and posed a question to her audience.

‘If you were to dig up a human — two humans — a hundred years from now, both a man and a woman, could you tell the difference strictly off of bones?’
Yearwood responds: ‘No’ to laughter from the students in the audience, as well as Gaines.
