I just finished reading another transwoman book and it got me thinking about Pyrrha. In all these trendy Ya/romance stories centering transwomen (Mad Honey, If I Was Your Girl, etc.), the transwoman is always beautiful in that ideal hourglass ciswoman way and passing. She always gets her hormones in time before ~evil~ testosterone strikes and has all the proper surgeries. And well... that’s just not Pyrrha to me.  

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy hcs where she passes perfectly and that she’s gorgeous (she’s always gorgeous and this is not debatable - I do personally hc that Achilles has a very androgenous look to his face that really helps manifest the whole gender thing he’s got going on). Odysseus had to trick her to out her, after all, so it’s fair to say she’s really good at passing. But that’s just not the Pyrrha in my mind. 

While I don’t think Achilles is a knockoff Thor (sorry Hades Game), I do think he has the body of your typical runner/gymnast. He’s medium height and is solid lean muscle. So yeah, Pyrrha is tall for a girl, and she has an obvious inverted triangle shape. Her shoulders and arms are defined. Her hips are narrow. She is completely flat chested. While she doesn’t have a lot of obvious body hair bcs she’s blonde, she does have to shave regularly. There’s a bump on her neck. And she has a girldick!  

In my mind, she’s a real Amazonian warrior princess in the flesh and she’s proud of it. She doesn’t feel ashamed by these traditionally masc parts of her body or tries to cover them up. She just puts on her peplos and makeup, checks to mirror to make sure she looks hot (she does), and then goes about her business being the hottest bitch on Skyros. Sure there’s some super sexist pigs who aren’t into the athletic masc look she has going on, but most are really into the idea she could beat them up STEP ON ME MOMMY they scream as they throw themselves at her feet.  

I get wanting to let transwomen have it all (as they should), but maybe "it all” can go beyond white Eurocentric beauty standards for women?

Nazi classicists seem to affect the hellenism practitioners in subtle ways, I've been noticing a small rise in worshippers who used to portray the gods as black slowly turning them white

To be perfectly honest, I’m even less knowledgeable about whatever is going on in that area of the Classics fandom than Greek mythology so this isn’t really something I can comment on.  

What I will say though is I’ve always gotten extremely bad vibes from it, so I don’t doubt it. For me personally, it is very reminiscent of how Nordic mythology was trendy back in the 2010s when those Viking-related TV shows came out. Idk where you live, but where I live there’s been resurgence of neo-Völkisch hate groups in the past 15-ish years, and I think these TV shows are partly to blame. This obsession and worship of these ancient societies and practices give off major retVrn vibes 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

It has always been my practice to automatically block any blog that I come across with phrases like “Apollo worshipper” in the blog description and I cannot recommend this practice enough. I can only hope that the poor 15-year-olds behind these blogs finds new hobbies and get some new friends and don't end up radicalized in some message board cesspit.

"But one of the company took up the gleaming sword and looked at it with flashing eyes. Odysseus knew that this was Achilles, King Peleus' son."
