Stop Sexualising Aphrodite. Stop Making Aphrodite Trand-phobic!

I have seen this over and over and over. Young and old witches do this, not just beginners, but people who call themselves experienced and well rounded in this community. It’s disgusting and has to stop.

Aphrodite is the goddess of love, beauty, and procreation. She is not the goddess of women, or of pussy.

People are treating her as the goddess of sex and woman, especially women protrayed in a sexual way, and this is just not what she represents. For example, the other day I saw a post titled “Aphrodite wants you to love your pussy,” and then went on to say, “Your vagina, vulva, clit, and all.” ???

???

Since when is she the goddess of pussy???

Furthermore, posts that begin with things like the above tend to go on to say or have comments stating that she only cares about or loves female women. This is not true. APHRODITE IS NOT THE GODDESS OF WOMEN OR FEMALES. SHE IS THE GODDESS OF LOVE, BEAUTY, AND PROCREATION.

You cannot exclude trans women from worshipping Aphrodite. You cannot exclude men, males, or transmen from worshipping Aphrodite. And STOP reducing her to be “the goddess of pussy.” It’s disrespectful and really offends people who take their religion seriously.

Keep your transphobic, third wave feminist rhetoric out of Pagan, Wiccan, and witchcraft communities!

The very definition of irony is that fact that someone literally commented a link to their porn, asking me to promo their nudes.

Weren’t some of the priestesses of Aphrodite trans? 

Yes, in fact, there were. There is a lot of inclusion for trans people regarding Aphrodite.

Aphroditus is the androgynous aspect of Aphrodite. They were portrayed as having a feminine bosy and shape; womanly hips and waist, breasts, a female face; but also a phallus. It is said that they are tied to the moon, and through their sacrifice, men and women exchanged clothing.

In later mythogogy, Apdrodite was said to have had a son whose was born to herself and Hermes, and was called a combination of their names: Hermaphroditus. Hermaphroditus was uninterested in love and shy, but one day whilst in the woods, he found a lake in which there was a nymph. She fell deeply in love with him and prayed that they would never be seporated. An unknown god answered her prayed, though not in the way she wanted. Their bodies became fused together and had both masculine and feminine aspects. Aphdorite raised them on high and said people like them, (trans people and intersex people) should be worshipped as symbols of fertility, thus, many of Aphrodite’s worshippers and priests being trans.
