Signed August 11, 2018Īlex Iantaffi, Diana Melisabee Moncur, Doe, Eddy Rivers, Eli Bruna Effinger-Weintraub, Galen Smith, Jennifer Byers, Johannah, Leora Effinger-Weintraub, Max Gries, Root Holden, Song (Nanette) Echols, Teri Parsley Starnes We invite other Reclaiming witches, groups, and communities to co-sign if they so desire. We invite one another to assess and share our resources, and to hold each other accountable, knowing that we are all vital and connected. In crafting this statement, and in our ongoing work, we are driven by love as a commitment to dismantling transphobia and cisgenderism in our Reclaiming tradition, both in our bio-regional communities and on a global level. We want to be clear that trans and nonbinary people are part of the integral fabric of our tradition as ancestors, elders, teachers, visionaries, organizers, community members, and descendants. Challenging this is our ongoing work, such as when we modified the Principles of Unity in 2012.Īs witches, we know transformation is possible, if there is will and commitment to learning and using the tools of accountability. We also acknowledge that this systemic oppression is part of our tradition’s roots. We know that transphobia and cisgenderism are the air we breathe in the settler-colonial, racist, white supremacist, ableist, classist, dominant discourses where we live. We get to define our own genders for ourselves and expect others in community to honor and embrace this. Given that the Reclaiming Principles of Unity state that “we honor all genders and gender histories,” we clearly assert that trans exclusionary beliefs, words, and actions are not in integrity with the Principles of Unity.
We invite other Reclaiming witches, groups, and communities to co-sign below. In response to recent conversations around a pagan event in San Francisco, as well as ongoing struggles with trans-exclusionary beliefs, words, and actions, a group of majority white, disabled, trans, and nonbinary witches from the Upper Mississippi River Reclaiming community came together on August 11, 2018, to write this statement.
