OUCH! ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH TO BE A WOMAN?

A curious article on the transsexuals place in various societies throughout the ages. I identify strongly with the Indian hijras, who show up at weddings and christenings and sing until they are paid to leave.

For instance, in ancient Rome existed the ‘Gallae’, Phrygian worshipers of the Goddess Cybele. Once decided on their choice of gender and religion, physically male Gallae ran through the streets and threw their own severed genitalia into open doorways, as a ritualistic act.



The household receiving these remains considered them a great blessing. In return, the household would nurse the Gallae back to health. The Gallae then ceremoniously received female clothes, and assumed a female identity. Commonly, they would be dressed as brides, or in other splendid clothing.

Winkte (transgendereds from the Sioux tribe) would also perform primitive reassignment operations of a sort, and history records the process used by physical males: riding for days on a special hard saddle to crush the testicles and thus effectively castrate the individual.
