GGG No platforming Ruth Barrett

I am upset I cannot go to Gaeagoddessgathering this year a woman only Goddess  Gathering of Pagan womyn and witches in NE Kansas in remote Pagan Land.

I NEED my Landtime and to celebrate with womyn. Last year I got Croned there, it was quite meaningful and just starting to build community and get to know some womyn after moving to the Midwwest.

While they are not WBW only, I was hoping there were ( and there are ) a very small number of mtfs, there could be more of a live and let live sentiment. Though compared to EWF and Michfest it is predominantly het women,Lesbians are more in the background, quiet about it, but welcome. I on the other hand am out loud and proud since both Amazon and Lesbian Mysteries are intertwined for me. My first year in 2015 and partly to come down from Michfest I went to connect with midwestern Witches.

I taught my Amazon workshop just hoping and praying no mtfs would show up. There were about 10 womyn and it went well. None did.

In 2017 I opted just to attend  not teach.

But this year they deplatformed Ruth Barrett.  As a Dyke Witch/ Amazon Warrior who is Amazon and Dianic oriented I decided not to go, and even if i did, I may not be safe. Perhaps physically but not mentally or psychically should they discover my true WBW Dianic/Amazon oriented leanings...

Any born male present taints the energy even slightly as there were a few at Michfest. But the gynarchic field of womyn present is a powerful force. However catering to those who are not WBW dilutes it.

There is NOTHING more life and personally affirming for me than raising energy with likeminded Dykes and WBW, no bio male energy present!!
