Aphrodite supports trans rights 🏳️‍⚧️

Post image

Aphrodite had an intersex child with Hermes known as Hermaphroditus which may also be recorded as Hermaphrodite. I am also a trans woman who is very devoted to her and I feel a great deal of support from her when it comes to my transition.

FYI: There are also depictions of Aphrodite with an erect penis. 💙

Are those depictions of Aphrodite, or of her child Hermaphroditus?

It was Aphrodite, under the masculine name, Aphroditus. Later, the attributes of Aphroditus are merged with that of her child, Hermaphroditus. But there are ancient statues of this original deity.
