They therefore sent down one of their most aspiring deities, Batara Guru. But Batara Guru was not good at organizing things. To do all of this, two ''bissu'' were needed. So the gods sent down two bissu who flanked Batara Guru as he descended.

"</blockquote>Near the end of the 16th century, in Bugis, the battle between Islam and Christianity was largely undecided in the South Sulawesi Peninsula. Most of the surrounding kingdoms had been converted to Islam under the influence of various rulers. Islam Gowa and Tallo, twin kingdoms, started the "Islamic wars" when the surrounding kingdoms declined their invitation to adopt Islam as their religion. In the 1950's and 60's, an Islamic movement took place, which lead to violent persecution of Bissu and banning of their ceremonies. Although, since the 1990's, there has been an effort to bring back traditional Bissu ceremonies, which, unfortunately, have been used to increase tourism in a lot of cases.

			The Bissu are challenged with anti-LGBTQIA+ sentiment, leading to the decline of Bissu. However, Bissu traditions are considered to be an important cultural aspect by the government, and as such, as early as 2019, the former head of cultural issues of the South Sulawesi tourism and culture agency, Pangkep Dasriana, has been working to preserve and promote Bissu traditions in festivals not just within Suwlawesi, but across Indonesia as a whole.

			In modern Bugis socierty, the Bissu still perform blessings and ritual ceremonies in all parts of Bugis life, holding a respected role as priests in their communities. Calalai and calabai can also be called Bissu in some cases and perform blessings and ceremonies.
