So, apparently...

...if you define womanhood in terms of being a thing that can bleed for a week once a month without dying, you're either a misogynistic jerk or a Dianic Wiccan.

I'm not sure if they've turned an unfunny, sexist joke into theology or turned their theology into an unfunny, sexist joke... either way, you just have to stand up and applaud someone who has the gumption to reclaim misogyny for women.

Ah I see you read the comments. I've got more thinky thoughts, not alot of spare time. Dianic trad is crossed off my list for all eternity.

I know, I know... you tried to spare me. And I managed to resist for a surprisingly long time.

"It just means that to place the burdon of trans-equality upon Dianics in this context is itself an act of oppression."

WOW. Just... wow.

Just goes to show that being Wrong isn't ever exclusive to any one group.

Oh sweet candy-coated Mithra.

White-cis-female "feminists" being asshats. Wow. I'm shocked.

Silly feminists. It's just like the runty kid kicking a puppy after being beaten up by a bully. Picking on the weak, and age-old tradition.

There's trying to dismantle the Master's house with the Master's tools, and there's saying, "Hey, Master... that's a sweet house. Can I borrow your tools to build one for me and my friends?

Yeah. And it's not like the trans/gender-queer community doesn't get shit on enough in the outside world that they have to take it from a self-proclaimed "all-inclusive" community who welcomes them but tells them that they're not prejudiced because they're discriminating based on DNA and anatomy and not gender or identity. That cis people can discriminate as much as they want and if they have a problem with it then they can just go and make a trans-only group; because that's exactly the point, further isolationism.

Not to mention, how do they even know that everyone there was cis? I've known trans-people of both genders who could "pass" for cis. (I really hate that concept; it just perpetuates the stereotype that people need to fit nicely into boxes. People should just be able to look how they want to look; if that means you can't tell their gender just by looking so what? It just makes people have even more issues about their bodies than need be.)

I am embarrassed on the behalf of sensible pagans everywhere. Good lord.
