My response to Lisa Vogel’s official policy around trans inclusion at Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival.

BIRTH RIGHTS AND WRONGS:  Response to Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival Official Policy

After years of debate, as of April 11th Lisa Vogel has finally drawn definitive lines around inclusion of trans women at MWMF. It is a hard truth to swallow that a person can call themselves a trans ally and support this festival..

INDIEGOGO UPDATE: With only 5 days left, we are SO close to our goal. When this started, $20,000 felt completely unattainable, but we set that as a goal because that is what we truly need. We are completely humbled and blown away by the incredible generosity of our community. Because we chose the “fixed funding” campaign, If we don’t make $4,795 in the next 5 days, we don’t receive any of the money donated. That is excruciatingly close! Many of you have already donated, so we know you’re invested in the success of this campaign and the expansion of Original Plumbing. With less than a week to go, we beg of you to dig deep, ask your friends and family and people you know who have yet to donate to throw in what they can. We sincerely thank you.
