Aphroditus

Aphroditus is the goddess of queerness, transfemininity, transgender people, and good luck. She is the daughter of Hermes and Aphrodite. She is commonly depicted with a face like Aphrodite, lifting her skirt to reveal a phallus, an image considered to dispel bad luck. Her symbols include morning-glories, frankincense, and spiced wine.

Aphroditus was born as a consequence of a one-night stand between Hermes and Aphrodite.

= Philosophy =

Aphroditus combines the boundary-crossing aspect of Hermes and the aspects of gender and sexuality present in Aphrodite, making her the embodiment of queerness. The adoption of a traditionally male name and comfort with her phallus combined with her she/her pronouns and feminine gender signals her refusal to accept traditional boundaries. Additionally, her association with good luck rejects the notion that queerness is linked to bad fortune, instead suggesting that queerness can be a positive thing.
