Kinda fucked up how cis women are allowed to abandon feminity in the name of feminism but trans women are forced to adopt it just to be recognized as women

However, the recalling of this image of female power without any direct reference to the goddess figures is significant: the strong traditions of goddess worship in contemporary India coexist with patriarchal systems that attempt to restrict, in particular, their sexual and sensual powers, besides other aspects. In the naravahana image onstage, on the other hand, conceptions of the goddess resonate but are not directly represented. In Chandralekha’ s choreography this goddess-like woman, as she sits atop her human carrier, uses hand gestures to symbolize the weapons she wields  tigernails that rip apart, a spear, a bow and arrow, a sword. She also wields objects more related to cultivation than sophisticated warfare, a scythe and a chopper. All of this links her to agricultural traditions and fertility cults as well as to martial traditions, in which she reclaims her active participation and her central role.
