I have no idea what the sign meant, but I hold to the relatively unpopular view that words are essentially just words, and as such, don't require the complicated and usually unhealthy response of getting all bent out of shape about.

That said, I quite detest the word shameful, and all of the judgement it implies, and in my vision of a perfect faerie utopia, it will casually but completely disappear.

But the real reason I'm responding is to defend Wolf Creek. Wolf Creek is not "anti-inclusionary". It's true that membership in Nomenus, the church that owns and maintains Wolf Creek, remains open only to male chromosoners, but then consensus remains a complicated and ongoing process as well. Wolf Creek, however, remains open to all Radical Faeries (and their friends), just as it always has been.

It worries me that people continue to perceive Wolf Creek as misongynist or exclusionary, and that they continue to spread this misconception. She's the go-to sanctuary whenever someone is making a point about separatism, but Wolf Creek is an important part of our Faerie Spiritual Homeland, and I hope that people who realize this will stand up in her defense.

Okay that last part was a little schmaltzy but I think y'all get my point.

Love,
Ampersand

I saw the sign. I looked over the top of the fence. i didn't see anything so great or unusual on the other side than what I was seeing elsewhere. Okay, there were streamers. Big deal.
