Is witch gender neutral

Wizards and witches are not differently gendered versions of the same group. They are two separate groups with separate histories. The idea that man-aligned witches must be "wizards" is a misconception people only have because of Harry Potter and similar fictional works. Witch is a gender neutral term.
- Sincerely, a witch who is tired of people conflating wizards and witches, and is also tired of people thinking guys and nonbinary people can't be witches.

@The Owl Enby I haven't ^^; It looks like a really good show, and I'm always liking fanart for it, but I haven't gotten around to actually watching it. Feels like I'm late to the party lol

As a baby witch (lmao I have no motivation, I've been a baby witch for like a year or two), I 100% agree. It's kind of annoying.
And you should totally watch the owl house. It's a great show and has LGBTQ+ representation and LGBTQ+phobia doesn't exist in the boiling isles :D

What about Belos. I find it a stretch the he wanted to save a teenage girl wearing pants. He comes from the 1600s.

Is there a gender-neutral term for witches and wizards? [duplicate]

When writing questions and answers here about the Harry Potter series, I often need a word for "someone who's not a Muggle". People often refer to "the wizarding world" as opposed to the Muggle word, so "wizard" would be one choice - but it seems slightly sexist to exclude witches in that way. On the other hand, "witch or wizard" is a bit cumbersome, much longer than the simple word "Muggle". Is there a sensible word to use which is neither sexist nor cumbersome, that makes a good equivalent to "Muggle"? What would JK Rowling say to fill in a sentence such as this:

Muggles use technology, while [. ] use magic.

"Wizard" can be used for males and females

Dumbledore uses the term "wizards" to refer to both males and females.

HERMIONE: Please believe us.

DUMBLEDORE: I do, Miss Granger. But the word of three 13-year-old wizards will convince few others

_{- Prisoner of Azkaban (film)}

The shrunken heads also use "wizards" to refer to both males and females when Ron and Hermione try to follow Harry, who is under the invisibility cloak, into a tavern at Hogsmeade.

HERMIONE: Harry!

SHRUNKEN HEAD 1: No underage wizards allowed in today!

SHRUNKEN HEAD 2: Shut the [. ] door!

HERMIONE: So rude.

RON: Thick heads.

_{- Prisoner of Azkaban (film)}

Ron uses "wizard" to describe a group of presumably mixed gender individuals.

Harry -- this is a Pocket Sneakoscope. If there's someone untrustworthy around, it's supposed to light up and spin. Bill says it's rubbish sold for wizard tourists and isn't reliable, because it kept lighting up at dinner last night. But he didn't realize Fred and George had put beetles in his soup.

_{- Prisoner of Azkaban (book)}

In all these situations the term "wizards" was used to describe a group of males and females. It is presumably acceptable to do so as it is unlikely that Dumbledore, a polite and respectable person, would use the wrong word.

That said, there are other terms that are also gender neutral, such as:

• "magician"
• "magical"
• "magic folk"
• "the wizarding world"
• "wand carrier"

More specific, but still gender neutral terms include:

• "aurors"
• "students"
• "hogwartians"

The term "wizarding" seems to be fairly common

From Prisoner of Azkaban (book):

• "the wizarding world"
• "wizarding village"
• "wizarding newspaper"
• "Gringotts Wizarding Bank"

Trae Dorn Is (Probably) A Person

I'm a geeky, nonbinary genderqueer Wiccan Witch. You probably know me from my Witchcraft or Actual Play podcasts. Or that I'm the person Ryan Kopf tried to sue twice. Or from that webcomic I used to make. Or from that anime con I cofounded.

Or that I'm just a weirdo named "Trae." They/Them.

“Witch” is and will continue to be a gender neutral term.

Keep reblogging this- it’s helping gender nonconforming and male witches feel accepted in the community.

Witch is for girls…

Nope! Witch is gender neutral.

Uhm were you dropped a birth? It’s for girls.

Nope! Witch is a gender neutral term. Has been more most of the English language’s history too.

The Modern English “Witch” of course comes from the Middle English “Wicche.” The Middle English “Wicche” was, of course, a gender neutral version of the Old Englsh “Wicce” and “Wicca” – which were gendered. “Wicce” being the feminine form, and “Wicca” being the masculine.

You may recognize the masculine Old English word as it lends itself (albeit with a different pronunciation) to the most common form of modern day Witchcraft – the religion Wicca.

Outside of the Modern Witchcraft Movement, if we poke into history you’ll find that during the European Witch Trials men were tried as – you guessed it – Witches. While those trials did disproportionately women, that was mostly because of, well, western culture just hating women in general. Many men were also accused though, and when they were, they were called Witches.

So, y’know, it’s gender neutral.

(If you want to know how it ended up having pop culture gendered connotations in modern history, you can blame some shitty 19th century fiction writers)

Anyone with a brain knows Witch is for girls. Wizard or warlock is for men

A practitioner of Witchcraft is a Witch regardless of gender.

Wizard actually originally meant philosopher, has a completely different etymology, and didn’t come to refer to a “magic user” until the 1550s – long after the word Witch was in common usage. It also is found primarily in fiction.

Warlock is a word meaning “oath breaker” (specifically breaking an oath to Jesus Christ) and didn’t start getting used for “Male Witches” until 19th century fiction. That fiction eventually entered the pop cultural consciousness – but those practicing Witchcraft have almost never actually used that word (save for a few who have decided to “reclaim” what they consider a slur).

Witch is gender neutral.

- Sarah - 1 star - I was really disappointed with the "Wicked Witch Rae Dinn Mug". The design was not what I was expecting and it looked very cheaply made. The colors were dull and the image was not clear at all. It also arrived with a few small scratches, which made it look even worse. I don't think it's worth the price at all and I regret purchasing it.

The print on the mug was not centered properly, and it looked sloppy. The colors were also not vibrant, and the image had a weird pixelated look to it. My friend was also disappointed with the size of the mug, as it was smaller than a standard coffee mug. I would not purchase this again.
