Dear Michigan "Feminist" Community,
Sure, OK, you're "empowered" and whatnot. Fine, congratulations on your little vagina mafia, continue patting yourselves on the back. But the transphobia has GOT TO STOP now. It's seriously not cute anymore and your utter lack of a sense of irony is more than a little embarrasing, as are your childish exclusionary tactics, which might be rivaled only by The Simpsons "Society of No Homers" in terms of membership definitions even a kindergartener would feel constituted cheating. You can't have it both ways, especially if you continue insisting on viewing gender as social construct. The past, present or future status of other people's genitals is not and has never been your business. Oh and by the way, if you keep spelling "women" with a "y" I will beat in your motherfucking skulls with an etymology reference.
No love,
Carolyn
P.S. You owe my sister an apology too, for your reputation making me say mean things about her group's most likely harmless vagina cheerleading party even though she isn't like you at all. (Sorry sis.) (Unless you're secretly a transphobic jerk too.) (In which case gtfo.) (But I know you're not.)

Dear White People,
No, your dreadlocks do not look ok. And no, not everyone can really have "natural" dreads, and no, your natural dreads ESPECIALLY do not look ok. They look like you need a comb and some scissors, and I actually LIKE dreadlocks. Even most black people who keep dreads, who have MUCH BETTER HAIR for dreadlocks than you do, go to someone to have them locked up and fixed every so often so they don't look like a ratty junkyard dog (and yeah, you DO look like a ratty junkyard dog) or at the very least do more maintenance than "just not brushing." Even
Komondors need help to get nice-looking cords rather than gross mats. Your lack of irony is almost as hilarious as the feminists above, since you keep complaining that everyone thinks people with dreads never wash them, but YOURS are almost always the ones that make people think that, since they're usually the nastiest-looking (and smelling) ones. If you insist on keeping up with both the inane whining and the cultural appropriation (yes, it is. Arguing will only make you look stupider.) at least try to minimize the shame you bring to the rest of us and get your dreads locked up in a reasonably expeditious manner rather than spending 3-4 years walking around looking in dire need of a personal grooming instruction manual before you even get any felting at all. (Sorry Shan, but I know you're done with them now anyway.)
Grow the hell up and look at yourself,
Carolyn
