I'm not sure if this should go to the news section or activism. Maybe both.

It is fine here, though I remember a News item back then.

The Michigan Festival is just an expression of second wave feminist bigotry against transwomen and transmen.  It should be rightfully boycotted.  As well, might I add, those who participate in it.  I would not, for instance, support any artist who performed at a Klan rally.

To be honest I'm starting to find feminists to be extremely annoying and hypocritical.

Not all feminists are hostile toward us.  There is a wonderful feminist blog that I follow that is very supportive of transwomen and transmen (there are trans women on the editorial staff).
www.feministing.com (http://www.feministing.com) routinely covers topics of interest to transgenders.
