The Flowermaker is said to be a transgender man, consistently in every mythology that speaks about him. The gods obviously do not take hormones and can appear in whatever kind of form they want, which also makes this identification quite interesting. The Flowermaker tells me the reason for this is that flowers have ovaries as well as a stamen which is the male part of a flower. Research confirms this.

When the first lotus was put down by Hechun in the city of Puri, it actually took on the form of a male flower, but the Flowermaker was misgendered by the other gods due to their associations of flowers with femininity as well as his genitals. He cut his hair, wore men’s clothing, and wore a tight cloth around his chest to appear in a way that was comfortable to him, but he was still annoyed by the pronouns and assumptions the other gods made about him. He petitioned the king of heaven to legally change his gender in the celestial bureaucracy, to which he was surprised as he never anticipated such a situation. He legally changed the Flowermaker’s documents to acknowledge him as a male and granted him a potion that would allow his ovaries to produce masculine energy, and this was satisfactory for The Flowermaker, who needed ovaries to produce the seeds of flowers as well as perform certain rituals.

The Flowermaker also consistently reads as masculine during spiritual workings. His energy is unmistakably masculine and he is always blonde and wearing fishnets, usually with exotic colored eyes. He is also smoking from a cigarette holder. He is also exclusively young, but how young is a variation. In some cases he can appear as young as 12 or 13, but he is never older than 21 visually unless this reflects the preference of the magician conjuring him, but the older appearance does not truly reflect him. He can grant the magician aid in understanding gender, transitioning, or finding connections and friends in the LGBT community. He also grants meetings of all kinds with attractive men.
