Maybe read the article before getting triggered: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/x-b1899832.html
Or the publication: https://doi.org/10.1017/eaa.2021.30
The grave was always thought to be a woman's grave, since the dress (which just means "clothing" in this context, not specifically "frock" or "gown") and jewellery are feminine; or a double grave of a man and a woman with the dress being the woman's and the swords being the man's. The new finding is DNA evidence that suggests that there was a single intersex person buried there. The authors then speculate that the person may have identified as non-binary, given the mix of feminine dress and "masculine" swords (since women were not often buried with swords).
