A cool video I found discussing 'the Minotaur as trans and disabled'

"Trapped in the Labyrinth: The Minotaur as Trans and Disabled"
length: 50:50

From the YouTube description: Johannes looked at the minotaur story investigating the minotaur as trans and disabled and through a trans and disabled lens.

You can pay Johannes for this work through Ko-Fi.

"The Unnamable" (1925) presents a hybrid entity - or the ghost of one - which is evocative of the ancient minotaur. The real-life incident Lovecraft drew on was actually a very sad case of a man accused of bestiality in which he, the animal, and its deformed offspring were all put to death.

A new game on Steam: "Minos is a maze-building roguelite where you, the fabled Minotaur, must defend your sanctuary from bloodthirsty adventurers. Design and re-design deadly labyrinths, set traps, and turn every brave fool into your next victim."
