TERFS and Druidry

 Hello, QOBDies, I'm Michelle (aka Greenraven).  I'm reaching out for some virtual validation.  I'm non-binary; I always have been and it's nice to have language to speak about how I feel in the world.  I got smacked with some TERFy garbage around the concept of Crone, and my ability to participate in a group since I 'claim' to be something other than cis gender.  I'm not claiming anything; I am me.  My assigned female at birth body is aging and I'm entering Elder/Crone times.  I know my experience of life and body is/can be different that cis women. I've never really defined myself by my architecture, as I call my body, never defined myself by the roles I took on for other people.  I have a non-binary, AFAB spouse and we adopted a child so I was wife and mother adjacent but think of myself as spouse and parent.

 I should say that the group is clear that it is for cis women only but I missed that in the description because I was happy to see an opportunity to talk about aging in a spiritual/magickal way.  I came here to QOBOD knowing I'm not alone in experiencing the complexity of sexuality and gender.

 Thank you for reading and giving me space to be all of me.
