Quote by Carter Heyward
I'm a priest, not a priestess. Priestess implies mumbo jumbo and all sorts of pagan goings-on. Those who oppose us would love to call us priestesses. They can call us all the names in the world -- it's better than being invisible.
Summary

By rejecting the term "priestess," they associate it with pagan practices and dismiss it as mumbo jumbo. They suggest that those who are against them might prefer to label them as "priestesses" to undermine their authority or worth. However, they state that being called any name is preferable to being ignored or rendered invisible. This quote highlights how the speaker's focus is on their visibility and importance rather than conforming to gendered expectations or labels.
