Males as Females. From the Goddess by Shahrukh Husain

Ritual transvestism was a feature of many ancient priesthoods, and can still be found among
a number of traditional peoples. Perhaps the best known examples of priestly transvestism
among the ancients are the priests of Cybele who castrated themselves at their initiation
and thereafter wore only womens clothes
The Roman historian Tacitus ( ad 56- 120 ) claimed that among the Germanic peoples,
the priests always dressed as women. He could have seen examples of the practice closer
to home. Cybele was one of the most enthusiatically worshiped deities in Rome.

In many of the worlds myths, the original creator being is neither male nor female, but both.
The bisexual being is able to copulate with itself to generate the world.
However as myth and religion have evolved, the bisexual Nature of the creature
has often gradually been disguised, and ritual transvestism was a feature of Roman
festivals such as the Supercalia, which was held every february 15th probably to
celebrate the she wolf who suckled Romulus and Remus.
The church father St Augustine ( ad 354- 430 ) condemned men who clothed themselves
as women at the feast of Janus, saying that they could never enter Heaven.
Ritual transvestism survived in a number of cultured often coinciding with areas that
retain myths of primordial bisexual beings that played some part in the creation
of the world. For example among the Navajo the nadle is a man.
