archaeologists often do try to measure the shape of the pelvis to determine gender, but that frequently doesn't work because bones don't last that long, or animals scavenged them, or any number of types of damage can occur in thousands of years
and you know what archaeologists use when they run into the common problem of the bones themselves not giving any clues? they turn to social clues like how certain genders would have been buried, or their clothes/jewelry, or things like the person's name if they can find it.
People who say this are also suggesting archaeologists, who are in a social science, would be unaware of things like transgender people or simply wouldn't care to investigate. Anthropologists are currently aware that gender is a spectrum, so why would they stop knowing that in a thousand years?
Also, what does it matter what hypothetical archaeologists in the future think? They're not the ones assaulting currently existing women in bathrooms about perceived slights to gender norms
