ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Galli

Okay kiddo, so let me tell you about galli. Galli is actually plural, which means there's more than one of them. The word galli is what ancient Romans used to call men who would dress up as women and perform in theatrical shows. That means they would put on special clothes and makeup to make them look like ladies, and then they would act out stories and sing songs for the audience to enjoy.

Now, sometimes people may not understand why someone would dress up like a lady if they're not really a lady. But it's important to remember that everyone should be able to express themselves however they want to, and that includes in the way they dress and act. And in ancient Rome, watching these men perform as women was considered very entertaining and enjoyable.

So that's what galli are all about - they're a group of men who dress up like women and perform in shows for people to watch and enjoy. It's just one way that people can express themselves and have fun doing it!
