Think your only options are to be naughty or nice? Well, these carolers are downright nasty.。
The New York City chapter of reproductive rights nonprofit National Organization for Women (NOW-NYC) recently released the Nasty Women's Choir Songbook, an online collection of cheeky anti-Trump carols set to the tune of classics. 。
SEE ALSO:Tumblr is the one social platform taking action ahead of Trump's America。The scathing song lyrics champion reproductive rights and sex positivity, while also openly criticizing Trump's projected policies with hilarious takedowns. 。
The songs are anything but your grandma's Christmas carols -- unless, of course, Grandma is a radical reproductive rights activist and self-proclaimed "nasty woman." 。
Though the Nasty Women's Choir Songbook will leave you giggling, the tunes are inspired by Trump's sexist and hostile rhetoric -- and the real fear they have inspired in women across the country. 。
"We were inspired by the surge in interest in IUDs following the election, and the reality that Trump and his incoming administration is openly hostile to real women's health needs," Jean Bucaria, deputy director of NOW-NYC and Nasty Women's Choir participant, told 。 Mashable 。Mashable 。

On Dec. 17, NOW-NYC members and supporters of reproductive rights will come together to sing the tunes in three popular locations throughout the city: Washington Square Park, Bryant Park and Columbus Circle. 。
"These are not your stock holiday songs. We are getting real here." 。
"We are singing out as loud, proud nasty women," Bucaria says. "We're grabbing our birth control and our choices over our health and bodies, and we won't be letting anyone else do the grabbing for us -- not even the next commander-in-chief." 。
Bucaria says reaction to the cheeky songs has been overwhelmingly positive so far, providing a sense of comic relief to those deeply concerned about Trump's impending presidency. 。
"People are getting laughs in this disheartening time for women's rights, so they are cathartic," she says. "These are not your stock holiday songs. We are getting real here."。
But given the post-election climate and their anti-Trump messages, the group expects some hostility in reaction to their radical caroling. But, Bucaria says, NOW-NYC isn't going to back down. 。
"If we are doing our job as an organization -- standing up and fighting to protect the rights of women and girls -- then we are always going to get some pushback," Bucaria says. "But it's in these moments when raising our voices and coming together is most important." 。
The group encourages nasty women across the country to download the songbook and organize their own harmonized Trump takedown.。
