Talk:Radical Faeries

Gender Liberation?
What is "gender liberation" in this context? Martin

I meant both "liberation from gender roles" and "liberation from interalized oppression for people of societally disapproved or unrecognized gender or gender role." Feel free to make this clearer. Bill

Inclusive vs. exclusivist language
I have made a minor adjustment to the intro para which, while not being a complete revert, is close to it. The sentence previously went:

which someone then edited to say:

Now I really don't want to put off either editor from continuing to edit this page (especially since one of the editors in question has made several really great recent edits to this page), but the second edit is seems to me to be needlessly exclusivist in language, and besides, then very next sentence in both versions stated:

Which clearly states the radical faeries were founded by (and the majority of radical faeries continue to be) gay men - which is one of its strengths. But there are people who aren't homosexual (such as heterosexuals, bisexual and asexuals) and there are also both female and gender-variant (including intersex people and non-binary-gender identified) faeries, so I think the language should remain inclusive rather than exclusivist. I have therefore mashed together the previous two edits to read:

Does it really need to be said twice?
"The Radical Faerie movement was a reaction against the social emptiness that many gay men felt was present both in the heterosexual establishment and the assimilationist gay community.[9]"

Someone needs to decide which paragraph this text belongs in and delete the other instance.CherylJosie (talk) 20:37, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Amish-Mennonite
Is the red-linked "Amish-Mennonite" (in the "Foundation: 1978–79" section) the same as Amish Mennonite? FrankSier (talk) 22:59, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
