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.
