If this is the case, will every god that isn't ugly by nature of their aspect/character be Transcendent? Otherwise, is Artemis *just* Very Beautiful while Aphrodite is Transcendent? That seems a little off.

Nice recapitulation of some of the original pt discussion here. As I recall, Transcendent appearance is intended to be just that, a level of beauty that places the owner outside human limits, but without entering them in the realm of zappy abilities. Of course, a human woman with Transcendant Beauty may secretly be of divine parentage, an android, a Homo superior, etc.
Settings matter here: Men may report seeing a goddess so beautiful they could not help themselves, but men also report seeing breasts on buck-toothed farmers' daughters that have the same effect on them. Or you can take the approach from Heinlein's JOB, where shape-changing demonesses have special tricks that appeal to a few pervs but the really successful seductresses are human women who can empathize and defer gratification.
