Sekhet, sekhyt, or sekhety is an identity used to describe not being exclusively a man or woman, moreso the ‘gender’ of the Netjeru; or the lack of a definable one in a divine essence. What this means, though, is the true nature of the Netjeru is mysterious, and though Their representations can align along binary standards, Their existence within itself is something beyond what can be put into a definition of binary gender.[1]
It is not a static identity, and can be a combination of a myriad of different things; femininity, masculinity, androgyny, anything in between; undefinable by words, and can be a specific state of being for a person and remain as such for years, even for a lifetime; or can wildly fluctuate on a day-to-day basis.
History
Sekhety is written as many different things by scholars; it was originally a word first found on an inscription on a shard of pottery describing the three genders, man, woman, and sekhety. It basically means someone who doesn’t exclusively fit on the societal binary of sexuality and gender, some guesses of the more specific definition being intersex people, gay people, and so on and so forth.
Sekhet is usually translated as “eunuch,” but that’s probably an oversimplification of what this gender category means. It may also mean cisgender gay men, in the sense of not having children, and not necessarily someone who was castrated.[2][3]
