>>4012986>Greeks themselves were putting the youthful beauty higher, as we learn in Syphomius and Phaedrus.Youthful =/= feminine. The beauty of young males, as exalted by the Greeks, was not "feminine" beauty - Greek catamites looked nothing like the draw-a-girl-call-it-a-boy shit that I initially replied to, because boys rarely look like that. It is your modern perversion that associates youth with femininity.
>I mean, who cares?I care, because it's frustrating to see real-world examples of homosexuality in antiquity perverted into heteroid garbage by modern "bisexuals"(READ:heteredditors with a penis fetish).
Drawing a famously attractive man as a woman, despite the fact that he was decidedly male, pushes the idea that femaleness is universally attractive - I, as a homosexual, on an imageboard for people who are supposed to find masculinity attractive, am allowed to find that sort of historical revisionism (and the ideas it pushes) annoying.
If you *really* want to do the draw-a-girl-call-it-a-boy shit with Western antiquity, why not find an artistic rendition of a gallus, or of Sporus? There are feminized males in history that can fit your preference.
>>4013032I instinctively gestured towards trannies because theyre usually the ones who try to say that Greek catamites were "femboys" - but yes, youre right. This sort of revisionism isnt because of trannies (in particular), but about gynocracy and the sexual interests it pushes.
