	Michigan and Trans (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Partly through organizations such as Camp Trans and strap-on.org, transgender politics have been thrust to the forefront of "queer issues." Most importantly for this discussion, male-to-constructed-female (MTCF) transsexuals and transgender males identifying as women have demanded entry to MWMF, using a variety of claims to justify this demand.
		Camp Trans has organized a protest/event held near the MWMF grounds and during the same week of August.
		Many of the arguments and tactics used by Camp Trans and their supporters apply pressure to our feminine conditioning to be nice, to share, to not exclude transgender people who want to attend MWMF.

		This was the last Camp Trans (except for a small three-person demonstration in 1995) before it was revived as "Son of Camp Trans" in 1999 by Transexual Menace and GenderPAC.
		A press release from GenderPAC states: "the stars of Camp Trans [1999] were the Chicago Lesbian Avengers who, in support of an inclusive MWMF went toe-to-toe with angry lesbian-separatists intent on harassing the trans-contingent out of the festival grounds.

		In its fourth consecutive year, Camp Trans welcomes any and all people to camp out or visit, and to learn about trans issues and issues of inclusion at the festival and in greater society.
		Camp Trans is also dedicated to political action and to educating MWMF attendees about why we want trans inclusion.
		Last year, Camp Trans organizers led a candlelight vigil to remember victims of anti-trans violence that began in the festival and led out to Camp Trans.

		The Festival's founder and on going organiser, Lisa Vogel, responded with a statement in 2001 claiming the "intention is for the Festival to be for womyn-born womyn, meaning people who were born and have lived their entire life experience as female" (Vogel 2000).
		The standard woman is assumed not to encounter trans issues, at least not in a way that impacts on her sense of gendered self.
		On the other hand Vogel's unwillingness to talk to the Camp Trans group is perhaps as open to criticism as her definitions of gender identity.

	5. Antirassistisches Grenzcamp
		It seems (as I said: it seems!) as a countermove that some Hamburg-zampanos prefer it to stew in their own juice, that is to till their own allotment (in the colours: german-white-qutonomous) and this in the name of, as it is said again and again, a genuine (a good, a pure, a proper) movement-camp.
		Considerable parts of the previous border camp preparation group (among them many of those who have been in the business of politics for a long time) have gone away and are in the meantime preparing the Schill-Y-Out-Days in Hamburg.
		Despite of all differences this is an immense shortening for this year's border camp, apart from the fact that it is everything but a brilliant achievenent in the field of political culture.

		Yes, after 5 years, "Camp Trans" -- no, make that "Son of Camp Trans" -- is back: patriarchally-named, politically-incorrect, totally insubordinate, and even less well-behaved than ever.

		The womyn and trans action was created as a direct way to increase the number of womyn and trans folks with technical forest skills in our community.
		The womyn and trans action is also a place where people can feel empowered to learn and have the self-confidence needed to voice their own opinions and give input in important group decisions.
		The womyn and trans action is just one small idea put into practice to help our community actualize the end of patriarchal domination within the 'environmental movement', while also defending a sacred temperate rainforest.

		The most important thing about Camp Trans is that we will be back next year and every year until the policy excluding out and proud transwomyn no longer exists.

	Sofsky, W.; Templer, W., trans.: The Order of Terror: The Concentration Camp.
		In this pioneering book, the renowned German sociologist Wolfgang Sofsky looks at the concentration camp from the inside as a laboratory of cruelty and a system of absolute power built on extreme violence, starvation, "terror labor," and the business-like extermination of human beings.
		The society of the camp was dominated by the S.S. and a system of graduated and forced collaboration which turned selected victims into accomplices of terror.
		"Sofsky patiently shows how virtually everything in the camps, from their physical layout to the use of time to the categorization of prisoners, was a way of exercising and consolidating absolute power over an increasingly dehumanized prisoner population.

		Camp Trans returned in 1994 with the support of transgender activists Riki Ann Wilchins and Les Feinberg, and again in 1999 with many members of the Boston and Chicago Lesbian Avengers.
		The events of 1999 drew much attention and controversy, culminating in heated tensions as a small group of transgender activists were admitted into the festival to dialogue with organizers and to negotiate a short-lived compromise allowing only post-operative transgender womyn on the festival land.

		Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2000 16:19:43 EST From: DavinaAnne@aol.com Subject: Letter to LC re:Son of Camp Trans The following is a letter which I have just sent to Lesbian Connection regarding the "Son of Camp Trans" controversy.
		The objective of any kind of deconstructionism is to distinguish between what is socially constructed and what is not; it is not to arrive at whatever preconceived conclusion that one wishes to arrive at.
		I was also quite disappointed to learn of the support provided to "Son of Camp Trans" by the Lesbian Avengers; and have come to realize that they are simply another organization that is more concerned about playing that tired old discredited "more-radical-than-thou" game than they are with the legitimate concerns of women at MWMF.

		Vogel says Camp Trans members who are born women are welcome to attend if they have a ticket.
		(And indeed, word is that one of the festival security workers was alarmed to see that some of the Camp Trans campers were her high school students.) The irony is that the festival started as a refuge from the Establishment, an up-yours to the older generation that Just Didn't Get It.

		Its website describes the gathering as "both an icon of mid-70's radical feminism and a contemporary stomping ground where the many different subcultures that thrive in and define our community come together." However, the subculture of transgender womyn is one that is not welcome at the festival.
		Camp Trans began in 1992, the year after a transgender womyn was kicked out of the MWMF because of her transexual identity.
		Since 1992, the community of Camp Trans has grown and so has its focus.

	The Believer - Transmissions from Camp Trans
		Others concede that trans women are women, but because they were born boys and may still have penises, the festival is not the place for them.
		Trans women and their growing number of allies say these feminist justifications are straight-up discrimination, no different from the rest of the world, which routinely denies that trans women are “real” women and bars their access to everything from jobs to housing, domestic-violence counseling to health care.
		Off and on for the past decade a small group of transpeople and their supporters have set up a protest camp, Camp Trans, across the road, in the hope of changing the policy that left Nancy Jean stranded in the Midwest twelve years ago.

		Anyways, there was a piece in there, "Camp Trans", by Michelle Tea, which explores the conflicts between an old-school lesbian music festival (the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival) and male-to-female transsexuals who were denied admission to the festival and eventually started a protest camp (the eponymous Camp Trans) across the road.
		But some of these women seem to believe that trans women still harbor the "taint" of maleness--even after outright rejecting masculine identity to the point of undergoing painful, expensive surgical procedures--as if an excess of testosterone were a poison that could never be completely eradicated.
		--Lesbians rejecting trans women oddly parallels early 70's feminists disassociating themselves from lesbians, male chauvinism in the Civil Rights Movement and anti-Vietnam movement, latent appeals to anti-immigrant and racist sentiment during the Women's Suffrage movement, sexism and racism (yes, racism) in the abolition of slavery movement...
