	Cybelian History
		Romans were horrified at the frenzy in which the gallae behaved, and by their self-emasculations.
		Initially the Gallae were confined to temple grounds, though later they were allowed to roam city streets with other followers.
		The early christians were determined to destroy the cult and St Augustine condemns Her as a "demon" and a "monster" and the Gallae were "madmen" and "castrated perverts" (hardly an unbiased opinion).

	The Gallae: Transgender Priests of Ancient Greece, Rome, and the Near East by K. A. Lucker (Book) in
		The gallae, priests of Kybele in ancient Greece, Rome, and the Near East, violated the gender norms of their societies in several spectacular ways.

		This thesis argues that the gallae and modern transsexuals share a common transgender experience, the meaning of which is constructed differently by their respective cultures.
