>Enkidu loses his masculine power from being with a woman
Power. Masculine one. Not other traits related to reincarnation. And if it'd be feminine power, it'd be lost by taking up mantle of femininity.
>There's a reason Templars, Gnostics, and Buddhists have often been associated with homosexuality
Several reasons:
1. Plain smear campaigns.
2. Monastic or knight fucking orders, meaning those unable to handle their lust didn't have many women around and had to make do
3. From the standpoint of certain occult symbology, it was to break the regular boundaries, go beyond sex as a mechanism of procreation and make it a tool of self-actualization and choice going contrary with nature. Also, a tool of gaining masculinity and power of others at times - check nordic mythos.
It wasn't because monks or knights suddenly decided they want to be women next life either.
So:
>If you know, you know.
Exactly. And you only thought you knew.
