Furthermore, if there is any truth to the claims that Origen castrated himself, which most historians believe was part of the latter Early Church's desire to besmirch his name based upon his temporary posthumous categorization as a heretic, it wasn't done so to arrogantly proclaim a trans-homosexual agenda, rather it was to eliminate his proclivity towards any and all sexual urgings. It's a bit disingenuous to co-opt the name as a champion of modern trans-homosexual aims.
