djehutydevo: kemeticcallouts: deadlydeamonflashmob: kemeticcallouts: djehutydevo: arachnospooky: anaputuwet: obsidianservant: girlandfox: smarmykemeticpagan: actualjackmorrison: was looking into Kemetic temples to worship at around here. And I contacted temple of anu and boy are they transphobic. McYikes Which Temple exactly is this? me: looks @ gods like Ra who is called the Great He-She and Hapi who is a man w/ boobs and also historical figures such as the beard-wearing Pharaoh Hatshesut And Nit would not be happy about their response either. the ignorance towards their own religion is wild In the spirit of ma'at my ass… Humility is a virtue in our religion… Being judgemental not so much. Be careful when applying modern standards to an ancient belief and language system … So saying it’s transphobic and shitty that this temple will not initiate transgender people is “not being humble” and is “judgemental”, huh? Your “be careful about applying modern standards to the ancients!!” BS is a transparent excuse to defend bigotry. Fuck off. -sincerely, a genderfluid kemetic Oi, you colossal bellends - Djehutydevo was reacting to everyone piling in with ‘Ra’s called the Great He-She’, and ‘Hatshesut wore a beard’. And she’s right. While it may be iffy in the modern world to not initiate trans people, trans reasoning was not present in the ancient world. Consolidating things like Hatshesut’s beard and deitys with multiple genders into the trans umbrella ignores the actual historical contexts for such things.  Of course, if you want to recon things in that way, that’s your business as an individual practitioner. But Djehutydevo is ALSO right in pointing out that we have to realise that these things are more in the vein of applying modern standards to ancient religions.  Honestly, if you guys are going to run a callout blog, can you be a little less reactionary? ‘Fuck off Im genderfluid!’ is hardly helping the community. Keep that shit on your personal blog. It doesn’t matter exactly what Djehutydevo was picking at on the post. They saw a post where a temple is barring trans people from entry and people were upset, and chose to respond by telling people to ‘be more humble’ and ‘not judgemental’. When I called them out for it they responded by trying to talk down to me about being ‘uneducated’ in whether or not it’s okay to bar trans people from a temple by virtue of their being trans.  And ‘trans reasoning’, as in the literal phrasing of ‘transgender’ and other words we now use to describe trans people, is ‘modern’, but people who have not identified or conformed to their assigned gender have existed all over the world for thousands of years. To insist that we can’t point out deities with multiple genders shows the ancients may not have had the transphobic view that this temple does, because they wouldn’t have literally called themselves ‘transgender’, is just grasping at straws for reasons to defend this bullshit. And besides, is the problem here what the ancients thought, or what modern people are doing to other modern (trans) people? So I’ll just repeat myself:  Your “be careful about applying modern standards to the ancients!!” BS is a transparent excuse to defend bigotry. So fuck off, and by the way, it’s not “fuck off because I’m genderfluid”, but “fuck off because you’re transphobic.” -Smarmy Wow! You are not only uneducated, smarmy, you also lack the ability of structured thinking!You mix ancient Egypt, Royal ancient practice, lack of evidence and your sjw chaos into one pot! Well, I guess there is no point in further wasting my time on you. Read books, girl. That helps also to gain structured thinking.I am no shitty person - I am the person not taking your bullshit.There is a place for everybody on this world regardless of gender sex personality educational level and origin. It is every person’s cup of tea to find it. So - don’t try making your cup of tea the cup of tea of others. Take care of your own life and don’t distract yourself from what you don’t like there by attacking ppl to profile yourself. This here is virtual - once you log off nothing you may think you gained here will remain. Just your REAL life.Get on with it, girl. -- source link
