Anyone else remember that Catullus wrote a poem in 50 BC about a Greek MtF who went to Turkey, cut his dick off in a crazed frenzy, had an orgy, passed out, woke up the next morning, cleared his mind, began to regret what he did, tried to go back home, but got chased into the Phrygian wilderness by lions, where he was enslaved to a goddess for the rest of his life?

It's remarkably relevant 2000 years on. It even parodies the pronoun meme: he becomes she right after he cuts it off, but, later, the poem reverts to using he again.
