Didn’t this have something to do with male temple prostitutes? Something about it being a pagan ritual to ensure a good harvest? My recollection is blurry, but I swear I read that somewhere.
So there were eunuch temple prostitutes to a goddess of fertility throughout the region, but they weren’t considered men, and were much closer to Hijra
But it’s unlikely that this is a prohibition on frequenting trans sex workers and is more likely a prohibition on pederasty in the style associated with ancient greece
Soooo ... It could be reworded as "if a man diddles boys, then he must die a horrible and painful death"?
