Transgender inclusion debates re-ignite in Pagan community
By Heather Greene | June 12, 2016
TWH – Over the past year, issues related to transgender rights have crested in mainstream social discourse. The most recent national debate has centered around the passage of North Carolina's Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act (also known as House Bill 2 or HB2) that, among other things, "blocks local governments from allowing transgender persons to use bathrooms that do not match the biological sex." The collective Pagan, Heathen and polytheist communities, as diverse microcosms of the greater whole, are not free from similar debates, discussions and, at times, serious conflicts on the subject of transgender inclusion. While never fully disappearing from the culture's meta-dialog, there are times when a particular event or action rekindles the conversation with renewed fervor, pushing it to the forefront of communication. And that is exactly what has happened over the past month, reaching a fever pitch last week.

The Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act was created in response to the expansion of the city of Charlotte's nondiscrimination ordinance, which includes protections for marital and familial status, sexual orientation, gender expression and gender identity. State Republican lawmakers said that Charlotte's new ordinance would give men access to women's bathrooms and locker rooms. Supporters of Charlotte's nondiscrimination ordinance said it provided much needed civil protects for vulnerable minorities. The new ordinance was set to take effect on April 1.
