The Third Gender: Transsexualism in Women-Oriented Atmospheres
The Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival, also known as “Wombfest†or simply “Michigan,†has been held annually in early August in a northern Michigan forest since 1976 (“General… Informationâ€).The festival’s central goal has been to create a woman-centered atmosphere where women can celebrate being women in an area free of male presence and patriarchy (“Out and About“). Although Michigan is not the first festival to celebrate women (“A… History“) , it is the longest running, looking to celebrate its thirty-second anniversary in August 2008 (“Rebuttal… Straightâ€).
Tickets for MichFest range from $60 for single-day admittance to $450 for the weeklong, all-inclusive experience. The festival provides three completely vegetarian meals each day, and upwards of forty musical performances throughout the week. Children ages three through sixteen are also welcome, and the festival provides several different childcare areas.
The last seventeen years of their run, however, has served to diminish their previously scintillating image- at least for transsexuals and their allies (Tea). “The festival… has become the site of many political struggles in the lesbian community, from the controversy over sadomasochism in the 1980s to recent debates over transgender identity.†This quote by Deborah Lewis confirms that the one-time utopia for women is now a political battleground for transsexual and transgender rights (Morris).
The issue of transinclusion in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) community has been gaining force over the last two decades (Tea). In addition to facing exclusion among much of the straight and gay communities, transsexuals are facing increasing discrimination in spaces that have been created solely for women (Morris).
Transsexuals are people who choose to physically become a member of the opposite sex through hormone therapy and gender-reassignment surgeries. The transsexual person feels that their physical gender is not who they truly are. In contrast, a transgender person identifies with the opposite gender through such channels as emotions and thoughts, and the term usually refers to transsexuals before gender-reassignment surgeries (Marinucci).
Some people, rather than identify with either the male, female, or transgender identity, have chosen to term themselves “genderqueer,†and in doing so, enter the territory of what can be called the “third†gender (Tea). Although the third gender typically refers to intersex people-- those people who are born as both male and female (Aitken)-- it can also be used to describe any person who does not comply with the customary order of the male or female gender identity (“Plight of the Third Gender“). Genderqueer people may refer to themselves as being both male and female or as being neither, and the genderqueer identity is quickly gaining force in the LGBTQ community. The celebration of this third gender could be considered responsible for the conflict between the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival and Camp Trans (Tea).
Since the early nineties, no matter their gender association, a person could not hear about the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival without also hearing talk of their “womyn-born-womyn†policy (Tea).
“I had talked to people, and their opinion was: if you think of yourself as a woman, you’re welcome.†However, this was not the case for one woman. In 1991, male-to-female transsexual woman Nancy Jean Burkholder was evicted from the festival on the basis that she was violating the festival’s “womyn-born-womyn†policy (Tea). This trans-exclusionary policy clearly states that the only festival-goers welcome at “MichFest†are those who had been born as women and had lived their entire lives as such-- transsexual men and women, as well as masculine genderqueers, were not allowed to attend. (“Rebuttal…Straight“).
Burkholder was escorted from the festival grounds and she returned to her home in New Hampshire. She later contacted Gay Community News and told her story. Her expulsion from what was once considered a completely woman-inclusive festival sparked a heated controversy that still steals the spotlight seventeen years later (Tea).
Lisa Vogel, Michigan’s leading lady and founding woman, was quoted after the Burkholder incident outlining Michigan’s strictly interpreted “womyn-born-womyn†policy in a press release that stated:
Since 1976, the Michigan Womyn's Music Fest
ival has been created by and for womyn- born-womyn, that is, womyn who were born as and have lived their entire life experience as womyn. Despite claims to the contrary by Camp Trans organizers, the Festival remains a rare and precious space intended for womyn-born-womyn. (“Rebuttal…Straight“)
Out of the controversy, Twenty-four Gender Myths was born from a survey conducted on Michigan attendees. Only 23% of festival goers did not want transsexuals to attend. The reasons they were not wanted to attend ranged from the idea that transsexuality is unnatural to the feeling that transsexual men only become male because they reject their womanhood. As one Michigan attendee stated in a 2003 publication aimed at making peace with Camp Trans campers, “You gotta understand, you are my sister, but you don’t have that experience. And taking my experience [of growing up as a woman] and saying it is yours don’t make it yours, makes it stolen.†In short, this Wombfest devotee didn’t see transsexual women as real women because they were not born female (Tea).
In 1992, a booth was set up within Wombfest that shared information on transsexuality and Michigan’s exclusionary policy. In 1993, Burkholder and several other transsexual women attempted to attend the festival again, only to be escorted from the grounds (“Short… Trans“).
In answer to the growing controversy, Camp Trans was born. First held in 1994 (“A… History“), Camp Trans is an annual protest against the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival’s as well as the nation’s transphobic standards, touting that “for trans women who are consistently refused help… this is a matter of life and death.†The Campers hold protests and marches, and hold workshops that celebrate transsexuality and other third gender identities (Tea).
Although Camp Trans was established to fight the injustice faced by transsexual women in the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival, it‘s influences paled in the mid-nineties, when the focus in the lesbian community switched to transsexual men over transsexual women (Tea).
“Everyone is gleeful, happy to be smashing the gender binary, , to be partying down for a cause, to be part of a revolution…“ The controversy between Camp Trans and Wombfest has drawn a new wave of activists to the battlegrounds in northern Michigan. Attendance at Camp Trans has increased greatly in the last decade. Due to the increase, Camp Trans is no longer held directly across the road from MichFest, as it was in the early nineties. Now, Campers head down the road to pitch their tents between the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival and a local nudist camp. The new location has caused problems with the Camp’s activist agenda. Part of Camp Trans’ effectiveness in the early years was because of its location: directly across the road from MichFest’s main gates. (Tea).
The issue of transinclusion is gaining force in today’s society, particularly in women-centered atmospheres such as the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival. As a result, Camp Trans and their festival kin have sprung up across the United States to battle the raging storm (“A… History“).

Easy Web Zone recently began, with the best intentions, to do some Christmas shopping. One gift for a family member and five more for myself later, I called it a night. One of my purchases that has become my newest obsession is my new Crystal Bib Necklace from Martin + Osa. Sometimes while out shopping I find myself buying a lot of accessories, rather than another outfit. In this fickle economy, occasionally choosing a new accessory is the obvious and cheaper option. It’s those little, pretty, sparkly details that draw me in over and over again.

I write this because I saw no articles on timberland boots. In fact, very few hiking stores push them as a hiking/backpacking product. I have a pair of timberland chukka boots, and I am as satisfied with them as I have been with any product. These Men's Timberland 6 inch Boots have 2 variations. First, there is the common wear, which are made of all leather on the outside.
The timberland shoes is the kind I see people wearing all the time -they're trendy and all. There's also another kind of Eurohiker. They have a leather and canvas-type exterior, and a Gortex lining. They are completely comfortable, and completely waterproof. The gortex on the inside is done so well that once, when I had dunked my whole foot in water up to my knees, Kids' Timberland Boots filling the boot with water, the lining pulled most away from my foot.
An few minutes over a fire, a fresh pair of socks, and Women's Timberland High Top Boot I was ready to go with dry feet.
They become unbelievably soft. I have timberland sneakers burned them twice near fires, once on one of belllows tongues, and once on the sole, and it has affected them in no way other than minor cosmetics./Zhenghuiqing

My Fat Body
Submitted by Jill on April 20, 2008 - 5:45am.
acceptance | body image | fat | self-esteem
I am fat. When I say this, I'm describing one particular aspect of myself. I am not criticizing or judging, nor am I inviting other people to do so or asking for assurances that I'm pretty. In my mind fat is a descriptor like any other. It is not a judgment.
I have a very active life. I skied almost every other day this winter, and had an eight hour ski patrol shift every Saturday. I walk everywhere it is practical to do so and some places it is not. My kayaking season started today and will last until it is too cold to do anything but look forward to skiing. My fat body can do all of these things as part of my routine.

Let Girls Be Girls

girlhood
While shopping for some stuff for my boyfriend, we decided that Rosalynn needs summer clothing. She really doesn't have very many t-shirts and not a single pair of shorts. So while gawking at stroller prices we found that we had walked all the way into the toddler boys section. Nik found shirts he liked right away, including one that had a picture of microphones and guitar headstocks. Then we found some shorts, not too much different from the shorts I just bought for myself and picked up three pairs of them. We moved into the toddler girls section hoping to find more of the same, maybe in some different colors. Instead we found shorts that would barely cover her diaper, shirts that had a low neck line and bikini bathing suits. Did I mention my daughter is only 16 MONTHS old?

The "First" Pregnant Man
Submitted by Brooke on April 8, 2008 - 5:34am.
media | parenting | pregnancy
Thomas Beatie is legally married, legally male and pregnant. His pregnancy has caught the attention of numerous media outlets, even Oprah and People magazine. Originally thought to be a hoax, his ultrasound on Oprah along with an interview with him and his wife, seems to have convinced the public that this man is pregnant.
Thomas Beatie is transgendered man. The biology behind is pregnancy is pretty simple. By stopping testosterone injections Thomas Beatie was able to get pregnant through artificial insemination. It's hard for me to believe Thomas Beatie is the first pregnant man for this reason. Some websites claim the first pregnant man was a transgendered, homosexual man about 20 years ago. Some intersex individuals who live as men can also have children, so it's very possible Thomas Beatie is not the first pregnant man.

Although Michigan is not the first festival to celebrate women (“A… History“) , it is the longest running, looking to celebrate its thirty-second anniversary in August 2008 (“Rebuttal… Straightâ€).

Assumptions

feminism | reproductive rights | reputation
Sorry I haven't posted for the longest time, and I'm definitely going to make up for it. For instance, from a recent Newsweek article about pregnant surrogates:
"many conservative Christians decry the practice as tampering with the miracle of life, while far-left feminists liken gestational carriers to prostitutes who degrade themselves by renting out their bodies."
What? I have literally never heard that once in my years (admittedly few, but whatever) as a feminist. Of course, there were no sources to accompany this bold statement. On examining the statement, I found that the only source to really condemn the practice was an old edition of OBOS. And we all know that the Boston's Women Health Book Collective, while a group that I am immensely grateful for and respect deeply, certainly does not speak for all feminists.

But Europe is so much more Progressive!
Submitted by Joey on March 8, 2008 - 6:18pm.
contraceptives | myth | news | research | sex education
When I am in the US or talking to Americans, I am often told how lucky I am to be living in Europe where people aren't all prudes and where sex is not a taboo topic. I always end up wondering where that myth comes from, as there are so many ways in which it is not true.
I was reminded of this again yesterday, when I stumbled across a study on contraception use among teenagers in Italy. An article on the study (found in yesterday's edition of the Milan Metro paper) stated that 30% of youths do not use any method of birth control at all and 20% use the 'withdrawal method'. Also prevalent amongst teens are urban myths about ways to prevent pregnancy, such as having sex standing up or washing out the vagina with coca cola afterwards. Too, 8 out of 100 women of all age groups do not use any birth control at all, and according to the organization of Gynecologists in Italy, the main reason women give for not using the pill is a fear of gaining weight.

Tom Lykes Talk Show

talk show | Tom Lykes
A little while ago I got into the radio again and I started browsing for a new radio station to listen to and I love talk shows so I stopped at the Tom Lykas show...
Besides his annoying voice. . . He's one of the most misogynist people I have ever heard in my life.
And most say he's just the best on it.
It drives me crazy how many people AGREE with this person about women.
For a while, I was thinking of calling and just yellin' whatever I wanted. Seemed fun.
But even if I get close to that, I freak out.
Shyness, I guess.
But, blah..
He's irritating. I hate him. I want to kill him.

I don't know how many of you know about this, but the House of Representatives here in the US introduced a bill on December 18th that will designate the first week in may as "American Religious History Week." Here's what they're hoping to accomplish:
"Resolved, That the United States House of Representatives----
(1) affirms the rich spiritual and diverse religious history of our Nation's founding and subsequent history, including up to the current day;
(2) recognizes that the religious foundations of faith on which America was built are critical underpinnings of our Nation's most valuable institutions and form the inseparable foundation for America's representative processes, legal systems, and societal structures;

Michfest

Michigan Womyn's Music Festival | transgender | unity
I've been researching the controversy between Michfest and Camp Trans lately, because I read somewhere that Bitch and Animal weren't going to be allowed to perform because Animal is transgendered. This really upset me.
Michfest holds that it is open to only "womyn-born-womyn" who have lived their whole lives as womyn. I get what they're aiming for with the principle of creating a solely womyn oriented space, but by not allowing transgendered people to attend... it's a little too exclusionary for my taste. I was planning on attending Michfest this year, but when I read about all of this controversy, I was totally turned off. I was looking forward to a womyn only space as an exhilerating and life-changing experience... I still would like to experience it, but I'm turned off by the fact that they won't allow womyn to attend if they haven't been womyn their whole lives.

AGA Roll Call: Goodbye to all That
Ugh. I am so tired of "feminist" and members of previous generations telling mine how to act, think, vote, raise our children, how to exist in this society. So here is my response to Robin Morgan and people who share her point of view:
Stop insulting young women! Stop embracing the stereotypes that surround us that have been created by a sexist media and a sexist society. Stop calling us stupid. Stop calling us sluts. Stop calling us ignorant. Stop trying to divide us based on our age, race, class or sexuality.
Look around you. Look at the women in my generation who have graduated from college or are going to college. Look at the number of young women you see behind and in front of you in line when you go to vote. Look at the number of young women at protests defending a woman's right to abortion access and contraception. Look at the number of young women defending the right for gay couples to get married and adopt children; for gay couples to work in the military. Look at the number of young mothers who have attended rallies defending women's rights to breastfeed in public and in the work place, who have defended the right of midwifes to practice their profession (and all of the women who are not mothers, but still defend those rights). Look at the women who are active in civil rights and race equality in the workplace, on college campuses and in the court system. Look because we are not just women, we are members of various communities who are also looking for equal rights. Look at my generation as a movement of people, a movement of women and a movement of feminist.

AGA Roll Call: Goodbye to all That | elections | feminist theory | Hilary Clinton | radical | Robin Morgan
When women took over Rat press in 1970 Robin Morgan sat down to write an editorial that would resonate way beyond that time. In it she took on and dispatched quickly with "female chauvinist pigs" and hypocrtical men who called themselves revolutionaries.
"Goodbye to all that shit that sets women apart from women; shit that covers the face of any Weatherwoman which is the face of any Manson Slave which is the face of Sharon Tate which is the face of Mary Jo Kopechne which is the face of Beulah Saunders, which is the face of me which is the face of Pat Nixon which is the face of Pat Swinton."

Women's Media

community | media | support | women
With the exception of my books, I have a very modest media collection. I just don't spend that much time watching television and movies or listening to music. However, I am interested in women and supporting us in every way I can. So, given my commitment to women and feminism, how is it that my modest media collection is primarily composed of men's works?
I'm not trying to argue that men aren't worth watching, reading, listening to, or otherwise supporting; men do create some wonderful things, worth the investment of my time and money. I'll never be willingly separated from East of Eden, and my love of Tom Petty appears to be limitless, but how have men and their creations taken up so much more of my shelf space than women and our creations?

Today is national Blog for Choice Day.
I did not sign up because I was not sure whether I'd have the time, but I think it's really pretty important to get the word out anyway. The topic this time around is: Why is it important to vote pro-choice?
Here's why I think voting pro-choice is important: We're all going to be faced with tough choices at some point in our lives, and with a lot of those choices, we can never know how we'll react until it happens to us. It's easy to judge, and it's easy to rationalize and theorize, but ultimately all of that means very little when the situation arises. And when we're in those situations, it's always best to have as many options as possible, and to have information about all of them, and to then be able to make the decision that is best for us at the time.

Used to be (for Maria)

poetry | rape | rapist | triggering
“Actually, Buju Banton* used to be a rapist, I believeâ€
The hippy said to us, pouring the mixture through the strainer.
Good reggae vibrations floated toward me as I pondered,
“What does it mean to have once been a rapist?
Is it something you can shed like a torn coat, or a snake skin, a piece of baggage you can just set down?
An old Nazi uniform you can just take off, “he used to gas Jews but he’s cool now.â€
Bathed in the blood of Jesus or the word of Jah,
Saved
Redeemed
Born Anew
Hallelujah!
How convenient for you, to move through these rigid identities.
I too used to be.
I used to be a victim but I finally managed to shrug off that heavy bloodstained dress, though no white man washed me clean.
Now I wear a survivor badge, heavy like iron over my heart.
I used to be
I used to be free
You took that away from me.
Marine runs away to Mexico
Maria condemned, unbelieved, gets a shallow grave.
She was 20, like me.
I open my mouth to ask the guys
What does it mean to “used to be a Rapist�
And why don’t the raped get that luxury?
of used to be
But they are already talking about something else

Me, Myself, and I
Submitted by Kym on January 19, 2008 - 10:19pm.
identity
There are several terms that come to mind when I think of how I define myself as a person: activist, woman, and believer. Yes, I could label myself as a teenager, a vegetarian, or an atheist, but they only describe what I am, not what I believe in. These labels, in their own right, are both more complex and simpler than they would appear.
The most defining of these labels is my identity as a woman, which impacts my life on a daily basis. Being a woman may only mean that I do not have a penis and that, yes, I bleed, but it is also so much more than that. Being a woman means that I have seen and can identify with the oppression that women around the world face by dint of being women. Being a woman means that I have to deal with the conception that women are weaker physically and mentally. Being a woman means that, historically, I must do things twice as well to be considered half as good as a man. There is nothing more empowering or limiting than identifying yourself as a woman. In accepting the label of femininity, I have accepted the challenges that my gender faces in the search for equality in today’s society. In the past, women were almost universally perceived as being the weaker of the two genders, which led to the assertion of “male dominance.†These conventional stereotypes make it difficult to identify as a woman in that they project the historical view of the female and do not celebrate the individual strengths and weaknesses that each woman possesses.
