Description: Mary Doyle writes a letter to members of the queer community who do not attend the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival due to the festival's trans-exclusionary admissions. She writes about her shift in beliefs from dismissing the festival due to their policy to becoming a devoted attendee.  Doyle, who shares her perspective of raising a trans child, hopes that more queer people would recognize the accomplishments and work of lesbian women and significance of this festival for many.

About Love Letters to Michfest: "Love Letters to Michfest is an independent site dedicated to honoring the womyn who come and gather every year in the beautiful woods of Michigan. Workers Build a village under the stars of performing arts and activism. This site is to honor the work and activism they have done for the past 39 years. Michfest believes that girls and womyn's lives are worthy of honor and celebration! Michfest seeks to advocate for them through creating a village in the woods on privat land built from the ground up. Michfest is built by the womyn who attend as workers. It is deconstructed at the end of the festival. It is supported by those who purchase tickets. "Festie goers as they are called," camp and attend concerts, performances and workshops and live in the woods as a community for this one week. There is no corporate sponsorship. It is truly an astonishing grass roots event that provides a safe and nurturing home in the woods of Michigan. Michfest believes being born female, growing up as a girl and living as a womon is important to celebrate. The community that is created here provides a space to explore what this means and how to overcome the constant assault of misogyny, violence and oppression girls and womyn experience throughout the world and in our communities simply for being born female . Michfest does not determine who is a womon. This site, Love Letters to Michfest, is to honor the workers, activists, performers, craft womyn, poets and dreamers, healers and hell raisers and all who make this journey every year! Send your love letters and photos to the e-mail link to be published here to interrupt the narrative of hate and silence being created. Deep respect and love to all!!! goddesboi"--Taken from www.lovelettersmichfest.com.
