Likewise, I have no use for Wicca's obsession with gender duality, which is, at best, dated and rendered irrelevant by transgenderism and over-population and a number of other things. At worst, it is sexist, homophobic, and skewed towards the cisgendered. The system which will work for me must regard gender not as a duality, but as a continuum.
Thankyouthankyouthankyou. Their insistence on female empowerment via empowering the traditional female roles and insisting that those stereotypes are something to find power in generally makes me want to bite things. Not that the other options seem much better, across the board, but I know of more exceptions to the rule, there.
I am...between labels, and kind of working on constructing my own way since I can't find any existing that I agree with or am comfortable within. It's a pain in the ass; good luck with yours.
