Description
Paganism empowers women and LGBTQI+ individuals through its inclusive groups and movements. Theistic Pagans worship the Divine Feminine, promoting body and sex positivity for queer, trans and non-binary people. Pagan communities offer spaces where gender stereotypes can be challenged, and alternative identities can be explored, with a global reach that influences practitioners worldwide.
