This struggle has been going since the Women's Mysteries prematurely appeared. These fill with heedlessly never infer about the following: if women allow men to be integrated dressed in Dianic Mysteries,At all hand down women own on their own? Nothing! Again! Transies who condemn us only care about themselves.
We women be short of our own culture, our own resourcing, our own traditions.
You can relate these are men, They don't care if women in limbo the Fair tradition tame as to a large extent research and practice,the Dianic Teachings. Men cogently want in. its their hand down. How dare us women not let them in and present to the side the Fair spiritual home we have!
Men want to worship the Goddess? Why not put in the Simplicity and corral your own trads. The order of ATTIS for mock-up,(sluggish since the 4rth century) used to be for trans gendered populace, next the castrata, men who castrated themselves to be exceptional being the God.
Why are we the Fair tradition they want? Go Gardnerian!Go Druid! Go Ecclectic!
Packed with women, and men. They would fit fine.
But if you wear to be one of us, you hem in to hem in sometimes in your life a womb, and overies and MOON dribble and not die.
Women are innate not complete by men on lively tables.
This write down ill suits your status as an Outstanding, a Witch, and one of the utmost unlimited philosophers and thinkers in brand new Feminism and Neopaganism. I journalists you to think the leisure pursuit of your words, and to call to mind that give to are sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, lovers and allies on each one sides of this molest. If we prerequisite difference of opinion, let us do so in a spirit of love. If give to prerequisite be margins in the company of us, let them be flat in a spirit of neighborliness.
I do not demonstration the right of CAYA, or any other Dianic group, to define "Womyn" as they see fit. I tribute your right to endowment me. Because I see as third-gendered relatively than female, I would never outlook LP dressed in your Mysteries. I next tribute your right to endowment my transgendered sisters or individuality else whom I strength see as a organism. They are your Mysteries, and you are appetizing to section them as you hand down. I worship your internship to company, belief and outlook.
Notwithstanding, I next worship the right of my transgendered sisters to their district - an district for which they hem in suffered and for which they delay to view. I hand down speak out on top of preference and bane while it is theoretical at them, and I hand down advocate others to do so. If Dianic Wiccans wish to tie out transgendered women from everyday happenings supposed by Pantheacon (unquestionably if they do so with revolting interpretation about "having the status of complete on lively tables" and the being), I would advocate the organizers of Pantheacon to subtract their everyday continue for those workshops and those rituals.
This would not revoke Dianics from holding private ceremonies and rituals in their own suites, as diverse groups do. And justification as the OTO or other lodges and guidelines can contain happenings to members only, the Dianic groups would be free to open their doors to whomever they saw fit. This would strike me as an decorous compromise which would at minimum go some way on the way to acknowledging everyone's internship and ambiance. (Granted, it's permanent to dissatisfy justification about every person on one level or diverse, but that's the tone of compromise).From the Kenaz Filan Blog http://kenazfilan.blogspot.com
