Transgender Issues in Pagan Religions

I did not attend the Lilith ritual at PantheaCon. I was busy drooling over the insanely gorgeous and talented Wendy Rule. So I don't know what happened at the entrance. What words were used, what tone was used or what went down in general. So I can't speak to that specific incident. It seems to be mainly a case of mis-communication where difficult interactions had to happen at the door. My impression of CAYA at Pcon was a good one, and so I hope this is just one unfortunate incident in the midst of all their good work.

Yet although the issue of transgendered folk in Paganism isn't a new one, this incident has sparked a riot of discussion regarding how transgendered folk fit into our communities. Indeed, I don't think I can ever recall there being this much serious discussion regarding transgender issues in Paganism on such a broad scale before.
