Topic: Eunuchs

Dr. Hillman discusses the Roman importation of the worship of "The Great Mother" (Cybele), which involved public self-castration by young boys. He notes that Roman authors like Catullus immediately switched to using female pronouns for these individuals, indicating an ancient acceptance of gender transition within a religious context. The segment also touches on the chemical changes resulting from castration and the use of eunuchs in the "kingdom of God" as mentioned by Jesus.

The history of "Galloi" and trans priesthoods in Mesopotamia is discussed as a form of sacrificing manhood for the state cult. This is linked to modern attacks on phallic symbols like the Washington Monument and Confederate obelisks.
