So there were eunuch temple prostitutes to a goddess of fertility throughout the region, but they weren’t considered men, and were much closer to Hijra

But it’s unlikely that this is a prohibition on frequenting trans sex workers and is more likely a prohibition on pederasty in the style associated with ancient greece

Soooo ... It could be reworded as "if a man diddles boys, then he must die a horrible and painful death"?

Yeah, but with an implication of boys that are under his care and tutelage. That said, I’m more knowledgeable about the former temple prostitutes than the Torah. A rabbi could answer better
