Many Radical Faeries are queer men, and we also include men who prefer to use any other moniker to describe themselves, as well as women who are Radical Faeries because they just feel they are, plus people who choose not to be called men or women, and beings who choose not to be called people. Faeries are organized as a group attempting to create community out of ritual and cooperation, except for faeries who are attempting to create community out of subversion of process and structure, as well as some faeries who wish to create chaos, often celebrating it, often not admitting it. (loosely adapted from the classic definition written by Constance Craving)
