Transexuals through history

[Florian]

I tried "gallae" and got redirected to "galli", being the plural of "gaul", which is totally irrelevant. With Kybele I got redirected to Cybele. I always knew her as Cybele, but I think your use of K rather than C would be more accurate as the name came to us via the greeks.

There were transsexuals in ancient Greece. Most notably, there were the gallae, priests of Kybele. You could look it up.

If you Googled "Gallae" and came up with nothing, only the redirect, then there's something wrong with your "Google machine." In any case, this undergraduate thesis (for one example) --

"Cybele" is the common, but less accurate transliteration of Κυβέλη (note the Kappa).
