Is woman born woman space important to you?

7/6/2018

Celebrating the female body!  Celebrate our wonderful experience or our not so wonderful experience.  Is this a space (WBW) that is valuable to you? 
Do you value the experience of being in a space that is exclusively honoring, upholding, respecting, and celebrating your femaleness?  
If you do value women born women space, please come to Michigan Framily Reunion. 
We are one of the ONLY WBW festivals available to women.  
While many want to label this as an exclusive space, I frame this not as a negative space but as a space that LOVES and HONORS women.  We are not anti anything, we are pro-pussy, pro- vagina, pro-women.  We refuse to deny our body.  We refuse to be shamed for our bodies.  We refuse to allow you to call our vulva and vagina a front hole. 
​We value our experience. We honor our uniqueness.  We honor that each of us has a unique experience depending how we are born and raised and culturized.  
We have a right to gather.  We have a right to acknowledge our female experience.
What can you do to honor WBW space?  Come to MFR.  Come to this space.  If you cannot come because sometimes it's just not feasible to camp, there are hotels 20 minutes away.  
If you cannot come because of other reasons, then share this information, tell a friend, tell another women, tell a young woman!!
The world is changing and many young women do not understand the value of protecting and being in a WBW space.  They have been raised to be all inclusive and accepting because those are the rights we fought so hard.  But there is a difference in protecting and advocating for equal rights and equal treatment from the law and government agencies and going to a festival or workshop that is women-centric for female born women.  There are many niche groups and events honoring various things (breastfeeding, no circ, runners, vegans, vegetarians, gluten free).  All of these people have specific needs & issues that they want to be supported, just like WBW.  
Please support women born women spaces.  We will lose these spaces.  We are disappearing.  I refuse to become smaller so others can feel bigger and supported.  Claiming a woman born woman space is NOT HATE.  We do not hate! We do not want or advocate violence.  In fact, violent behavior will not be condoned at MFR.  Asshole comes in all genders and will not be tolerated at MFR.  We do promote love and respect and kindness.  We also focus on our experience.  It's not all about everyone.  It's about the women.  We will keep holding this space for you sisters.  We will keep our vision at the forefront.  We will protect and continue to value your WBW experience.  Thank you.
