Do Iphis and Ianthe Actually Have a Happy Ending?: Effed Up Mythology IX

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH

For the first installment of the Pride series this month, here is the Egyptian myth of Iphis an Ianthe.  It's got everything: patriarchy, internalized misogyny, lesbians, gender reassignment magic, goddesses, and a happy ending.

It's a good one.
