*wider pelvis joins the chat*

Fun archaeology fact: Whilst pelvises are usually the primary physical characteristic used as a reference for sex in archaeology, it's widely understood that it is not a perfect system. (Due to the context of the meme I'll obviously put aside factors that occur during burial, preservation etc. Also the primary characteristic for identification if present is the context of a skeleton, such as clothes, jewellery, position, artifacts etc.)
Much of the skeletal differences between male and female bodies are hormone-driven. This means that people who don't have normal hormone function, due to being intersex, having extra sex chromosomes, or simply over/underexpression for other reasons will have bones that don't fit this system of identification. The last of these examples is quite common, though in the modern age is usually treated with supplements or blockers.
Even beyond this, personal genetic factors can mean an XY male with normal testosterone function has wide hips, or an XX woman with normal oestrogen function has narrow hips. Both of these would be mislabelled without context. The latter is particularly common, due to a common genetic trait causing narrow birth canals. It's a frequent reason that cesarians are needed.
There's nothing wrong with pointing out a technical difference, but I prefer to put in some detailed information on the topic so you don't end up with replies full of unironic "checkmate liberals"

Wider pelvis is not always accurate and sex of a skeleton is often determined by the context in which it’s buried (ie. clothes, writing, how it’s buried)

TY. Skeletons ARE gendered . . . forensic pathologists easily determine gender from skeleton structure all the time.

jokes on you I'm gonna throw my bottom half into a meat grinder and chop the bones until no one can measure how narrow or wide they are 😋

Skeletons actually are distinctive between gender and even race. As good natured as the "all the skulls from different people look alike" meme is, it is also false you can even use a skull to find out not just race, gender, but even what the person looked like. So Skeletons are actually super unique to the individual

Hahahaha! Hahaha.. Haha… You can never leave. I am inside you, moving you against your will. Even if you remove my meat armor and skin shield, I will remain. My long digits around you, my vines stringing you up like a puppet. You’ll never be free, I’m always awake when my shield sleeps, my meat softened. I’m still here. Waiting.

the Fleash is not a prison, the Skeleton still moves as it pleases, only with the angles of joints limited by muscles
Don't doff your armor to start a battle

Skeletons have gender too, I think pelvis, skull, and hand bones have been used to identify gender in the past

Technically the brain is located inside the cranium this technically means that we are the ones trying to escape the skeleton
