It was hard not to feel jealous of the well-resourced Michigan women's
festival (officially the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival) that took
place just down the road. It felt like the couple hundred of us —
trans people and allies — who set up camp in the dusty field a short
walk from the venerable lesbian institution, were definitely the
have-nots. As in, we didn't have enough food to eat, and the porta
potties desperately needed to be emptied.
