MHC Femmepowered Creating and Supporting Femme Visibility at Mount Holyoke and Beyond.

- We believe that the full inclusion of trans women on campus, both in admissions policies and campus cultural attitudes, is a vital part of addressing misogyny on campus.
- We believe that femininity can be performed in ways that exist outside of societal standards dictated by: white supremacy, (dis/)ableism, ageism, sizeism, cissexism, classism, and sexism.
- We believe that reclaiming forms o

f self-expression that have been vilified for their association with femininity is a powerful way of resisting internalized sexism.
- We believe in creating new masculinities that do not assume masculinity to be more inherently powerful than femininity.
- We believe in the value of lived experience as knowledge.
- We believe that anyone can identify with femme if it resonates with them.

"What if we let go of being beautiful, stopped chasing 'pretty,' stopped sucking in and shrinking and spending enormous amounts of money and time on things that don’t make us magnificent?"
