Woman-born, woman-identified policy at MWMF

I know a few people who regularly attend and enjoy the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival each year, and the 30th anniversary is coming up soon. I also know some people who are highly offended by their (rarely-enforced) policy of barring transgendered people. I've been discussing the policy here and there with friends and on-line acquaintances, and I recently googled up a link with an interesting point of view.

To me, it seems odd that, despite much of feminism's emphasis on gender as a social construct, the festival organizers focus so much on biology when definining who can and cannot attend.

Neither M-t-F nor F-t-M, nor anyone who identifies as non-gendered or GenderQueer or anything "in-between" is welcome, either.

Follow up on bisexuality study post

Apparently, the author of the study that questions the legitimacy of male bisexuality has been accused of "massaging" the data in a study that "proved" that transsexuals don't exist, either:
