All self defined womin can use the space

The space is basically open to all individuals who define themselves as womin. We are transexual and transgender friendly.

We believe that a womin only spaces are a necessary part of the activist movement and there has been no womin only squatted space in London for some time. We are not seperatist and want to open out feminist discussion and ideas that are coming out of the space to all genders.

We are having an ongoing discussion about why we need a womin only space and whether or not the space should be open at some points to feminist men. We welcome all men to be part of this discussion.

womin?

hi, i havent come across "womin" before, what does it include to define yourself as one?

riku

womin, woman, wymyn, wymin, wimin, female only

the word "woman" -- it originally comes from the term wifmann,
meaning basically "wife/female of a human being.....

so maybe we don't want to be called woman/ wives and i guessed most people would know what was meant by womin.

Self definition is up to the individual and of course defining gender may not always be so clear as male/female but basically we are open to anyone who wants to define themselves as being: womin, woman, wymyn, wymin, wimin, female rather than a man.

Hope this is clear.
