Notorious AGP posted:The title alludes to cross-dressing, but there's nothing about it in the OP. Since I'm a tran, I'm curious: What references, if any, are there to cross-dressing in the lore of Heathenry? Not involved in the religion, but there are a few references to cross-dressing in the Edda and some of the other sagas/myths. Thor dressed as Freya to get his hammer back and Odin dressed as a medicine woman to gain access to Rindr's bedchamber and rape her. Hervor dressed as a man and went on a quest to find her father's cursed sword, Tyrfing. There are a couple others like Hagbard and Frotho I, but I don't think those have much of the original text remaining so there is a lot that isn't known about their stories. I'm sure someone will expand on these as there is probably plenty I'm forgetting. OP, I'm curious what heathenism is doing to combat the co-opting of Norse symbols by racists. Do you find it difficult to attract new members/be open about your religion because of that?
