    I love her in less hinged ways and I don't buy it? But she's definitedly connected to trans (and enby) folks via syncretism with innana/ishtar if nothing else.

    I always feel like these concepts are within us in a tangible way. What aphrodite is in some sense is buried in us, encoded in the myths and stories we tell ourselves about these things. Where you find a younger, fiery feminine within; when you appreciate the beauty of another person, the beauty of yourself, the beauty of a piece of art, she's there. When you desire another, she's there. When a transfemme dons the regalia of the feminine to induct herself into womanhood, she's the one who helps adorn you.

    Disentangle that from the world and see your own picture of her. If she's trans, then she's trans lol
