In Greeco-Roman they show god/dess Hermaphrodite as woman with penis and Greeks make statues of male form of goddes Aphrodita named Aphroditus as woman who lift her skirt to show penis.
Ancient societies also talk about third gender, which was quite wide term and they are not only eunuchs. Many transgender persons serve as priests in goddess cult, where they often castrate themselves and live as woman like Gallae priest in Cybile mother goddess cult. Romans tolerate them, but Roman citizens were not allowed to be priests in the cult.
