Feminists are ditching the pink pussyhats during this year's Womens' Marches across the country for fear that they make some participants feel they aren't welcome.

After the pussy hat-clad women filled streets around the country during last year's event, some pointed out that the pink bonnets were excluding transgender women and women of color who either weren't born with female genitals or whose genitals are more likely to be brown than pink.

This year's Women's March is taking place in Las Vegas on January 21 - with satellite events in cities around the country.

And Phoebe Hopps, founder and President of Women's March Michigan, told the Detroit Free Press that if it makes even one participant offended, it's not worth it.

'I personally won't wear one because if it hurts even a few people's feelings, I don't feel like it's unifying,' Hopps explained.

'I care more about mobilizing people to the polls than wearing one hat one day of the year.

'It doesn't sit well with a group of people that feel the pink pussyhats are either vulgar or they are upset that they might not include trans women or nonbinary women or maybe women whose (genitals) are not pink.'

The initial Women's March was held on held on January 21, 2017 the day after Trump was inaugurated, and drew millions of marchers around the country who objected to Trump's presidency.

Satellite marches took place in nearly every major American city, and even in some cities around the world.

This year's even has a new theme - Power to the Polls - which will focus on getting more women and minorities registered to vote in order to elect women and progressive candidates to public office in the upcoming 2018 and 2020 elections.

And Hopps said that multiple state and national organizations 'have attempted to move away from the pussy hats for several months now,' and no longer use the hats to promote this year's events.

The hats first cropped up during the 2016 Women's March on Washington as a response to vulgar comments made by President Donald Trump in a leaked 'Access Hollywood' tape.

Krista Suh and Jayna Zweiman founded the Pyssyhat Project after the 2016 election as a way for marchers to show their support for women's rights.

The color pink was chosen not because of the color of genitals, according to the campaign's website, but because 'pink is associated with femininity'.

The Women's March chapter in Pensacola, Florida, also said it will discourage participants from wearing hats to this year's events, explaining in a Facebook group that the hats are 'white-focused and Eurocentric'

'We did not choose the color pink as a representation of some people's anatomy,' the website says.

'Anyone who supports women's rights is welcome to wear a Pussyhat. It does not matter if you have a vulva or what color your vulva may be. If a participant wants to create a Pussyhat that reflects the color of her vulva, we support her choice.'

LaShawn Erby, co-chair of Lansing, Michigan's Black Lives Matter chapter, said she will use the anniversary of last year's march to talk about the 'discriminatory' hat.

'I will say one thing: it is a problem,' Erby told the Free Press.

'I'm really impressed by the people who are putting together this march because most of the women are women of color. I think that's a really important message to put out in front of Michigan.'

The Women's March chapter in Pensacola, Florida, also said it will discourage participants from wearing hats to this year's events.

'The Pink P*ssy Hat reinforces the notion that woman = vagina and vagina = woman, and both of these are incorrect,' an admin posted to the group's Facebook page.

'Additionally, the Pink P*ssy Hat is white-focused and Eurocentric in that it assumes that all vaginas are pink; this is also an incorrect assertion.

'Therefore, we ask that march goers refrain from wearing this hat and instead, pick an alternative headwear that focuses on collective women’s liberation for ALL women: transgender women, multinational women, disabled women, queer women — the most marginalized.'

But Lilianna Angel Reyes, a transgender woman of color, said she will wear a pink pussyhat to this year's march in Lansing.

'I definitely understand that there are people that are concerned that the pussyhat, the pink cat hat, is very specific for people with vaginas,' Reyes, programs services director at Affirmations, a nonprofit serving people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, said.

'But ... it was a very specific thing, ... specific to when President Trump said "Grab 'em by the pussy," and so to me it was a play on words that shows power. I also think for me, it's more symbolic.'
