Novel Re-Imagines Ancient Transgender Myth

DailyCal.org – By Stefanie Lee – Contributing Writer

The Greek goddess Iphis, raised a boy by her mother Telethusa to escape fatal persecution, had to jump through a lot of Olympic-sized hoops to marry the woman she loved. But considering today’s process, she had a sweet deal. Iphis and her mother were pretty close, so instead of the routine sex change operation (sadly not an option for deity minors), Telethusa prayed desperately for her offspring and Iphis received her endowment promptly before the wedding ceremony. No scars, no hormone supplements and no side glances on MUNI. Y to X chromosome faster than the line at Cheese-N-Stuff.

Right.
