Welcome to Camp Trans, the action/protest in repsonse to the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival's "womyn born womyn" policy.

This year's Camp Trans took place August 11th-18th. Thanks to everyone who came and supported us, thanks to the folks who came over and supported us from the land as well. More information from this year will be updated to the site in a few weeks.

All pictures came from the Camp Trans site. The logo at the top and all text is property of Camp Trans Chicago, please ask before copying. This info is for all the copyright freaks.

One of the few, One of the proud, One of the kids at Camp Trans. It could be YOU. Read more

The history behind Camp Trans is back up. Thanks to Simon and Anne T. for their help on this. Please go read that before proceeding with the page.

Simply put, Camp Trans is trying to change the festival, not shut it down. We respect the need for womyn-only space, we only ask that we question who has the authority to define what a womyn is, or what experiences make a womyn a womyn. Camp Trans understands the past of MWMF, we simply see that there is room for change through discussion and education.

Camp Trans in recent years has published a zine, made t-shirts, put on shows, led actions on the land(see pics below), and even provided free meals and stuff. All of this is done by some dedicated kids and through local fundraising in Chicago, Boston, St Louis and tons of other places around the country.

It is a point of ours to show both sides of this debate. So, in an effort to do this, this site provides direct links to the MWMF main page, along with anything that the webmaster comes across. If you know of, or maintain a site that you think could be beneficial to Camp Trans, e-mail that webmaster and let him take a look at it.
