“Also a reminder, that this is a radical feminist conference, for females (female assigned at birth, including intersex) who are radical feminists, pro-radfem, or are interested in radical feminism. NO TRANS (trans “women” are not females!!!). Please respect this right of self-definition & assembly. Merci (thanks). This is unfortunately, a very controversial & contested right to left and right wingers alike.”

REGISTRATION

“It’s $75 or $25 for low income women. This includes 2 meals/day and lodging. If you are only attending for one day, you can send about a third of that amount.”

ACCESSIBILITY & CHILDCARE

“Do you have accessibility needs around the venue and presentations? Please email us. The space is wheelchair accessible, including a bathroom. We may need an ASL interpreter. If you can offer this, thanks so much, and let us know. We encourage presenters to have visual materials where possible (eg PowerPoint, photocopies–we can photocopy if for the presenters with notice), and to have it be easy to read print.”

“Now, babies under two are welcome, just email us. Kids two and over, please email us if you need assistance with childcare by Tuesday at noon (we’ll either assist in outside childcare, or provide it depending on numbers, etc).”

One thought on “Program

  1. Thank you for having the gall to say that transsexuals are not women. I once believed the lie that they were until I got to know some of them. They aren’t interested in women’s rights-they are interested in mocking bio women/buying expensive heels/trying to hustle money from men by prostitution/finding a man/getting large breast implants and more. Essentially they are all about themselves. Now for the monster trannies who want to bully their way into female only spaces-get a life! Start your own movements. We won’t try and barge into your meetings-honest. I used to have faith in you all. Most of you are sooo competetive with bio women that it’s unbelievable! Carve your own niche in your lives and leave us women to continue to carve ours. Thank you!
