The ‘rules’ are always changing. For instance the word ‘transvestite’ was glorified by TimCurry on the Rocky Horror Picture Show. NOW You the word is highly non-pc and get you labeled a hater,etc. The lie nonsense nonscientific word transgender word must be glorified celebrated and hailed.

the shouts and roars for greater recognition of trans rights in Ireland.

Demonstrators called for improved transgender healthcare

None of the demands of these people make any sense.

Will the Shamrock be replaced with by a Pink Pussy Hat?

Will the Shillelagh be replaced by a Green Dildo?

Will the killer Leprechaun in the movies of the same name now wear a Green Dress?

Snakes! We need more snakes!
