>>17817414 (OP)Yes, even from the earliest written records, we have trannies. Trannies in temples, trannies in power. Enhuanna, world's first author, mentioned the Gala, Pilipili and Kurgara. Later Gods like Ishtar, Astarte, Artemis Ephesus, Kubeleya, Cybele, Cybele-Rhea, Magna Mater, Anahita, Artimpasa.
Dive even deeper and you will find similar cults in Gaul, India, Pegu, Korea, Congo, Nigera, South-Africa.
Later in history all kinds of Christian saints would show up like Marinos, Hilarios, Euphrosyne who all identified as men and stayed that way their entire lives, further denoting that their kind tends to get into spiritual positions.
>>17817417>>17817424>>17817435>>17817459If they pursued being a woman in attire, appearance, smell, pronouns, marriage status, birth ceremonies, and well, straight up telling us. Then they are trannies and not faggots. Guess how these eunuch priests presented and identified as? Very different from just normal gays or court eunuchs.
>>17817838Third-genderness, rituals where they performed altered state of minds, playing instruments like the drums, some kind of magical power like prognostication, these are all things that we keep seeing amongst shamans and early priesthoods.
>>17819026Check out the Valesians, they're some early pentecostal-esque group that focused on the holy spirit and they would castrate themselves. Origen who invented the trinity also castrated himself. The influence of these cults were massive on Christianity.
>>17819224The worship of Cybele being so prominent in Rome itself, and her coming from Syra which is in itself a hotbed of tranny priests, makes it rather obvious to me that she was like them and that others would see the similarities. All the slander against Elagabalus is similar to the slander we read against the Galli so he was probably of a similar cognition/biology/whatever that caused the Galli to be trannies.
