This lovely lady was handing out handmade patches. I found them a much more Femme-friendly alternative to the t-shirt. As someone who spends Fest changing costumes twice a day, I was able to pin this to the side of my leopard tote bag and bring it to me everywhere around the Festival and never worry about forgetting it on an outfit! I love it when Fashion and Activism become a win-win.
(Also I forget her name, but she is very sweet and lovely.)

Another excellent alternative to a t-shirt is a cape! Thanks for sharing this Bevin!
Might I also suggest a sassy bandana!
She gave me one. I like that it said "Trans Women at Michfest Belong Here."
There were also sparkly hot pink ribbon bracelets being given out at barter mart on Saturday. They didn't say anything, but you supposed to explain what they meant if someone asked.
