OK we are now officially in Bizarro world. For anyone who is unaware of what it is the Orange Order is the militantly protestant, anti-Catholic, staunchly conservative, "loyal institution" you see marching around the streets and roads of Northern Ireland and Scotland, beating big drums and whipping up blood and thunder tunes to inspire the true blue protestant boys (women may be auxiliary members of the Order but their job is ironing the shirts of the marchers and making them tea after their long march).

And this guy/girl feels aggrieved because they won't let him join.

Retards, all of them.

Peter Coulter has been to meet a transgender woman living in Belfast

He has been what, to meet this trannie? He has been waiting? He has been traveling? He has been planning? It seems a word got left out, there.

Many years ago, I was doing some shopping in Derry, on a weekend.

Suddenly, a parade was coming from the top of Shipquay Street.

Asked a local walking down the sidewalk next to me what was this all about.

“Shite Pushers”, she replied.

She was obviously not happy, and I couldn’t stop laughing at her reply.

I don’t support the Orange order, but anyone wanting a tranny to be forced on them is either not a conservative or hates Orangemen more than they care about conservatism.

Is this a ruse from the leftist, communist IRA?

[GregoTX]

No such thing as a transgender woman. I assume they mean a man that dresses as a woman.

This certainly calls for a round of the Irish Rovers’ “Orange and Green”:

I was always bummed out that the Orangemen of Syracuse disappeared.

Mr. PotatoHead speaks as though he does not understand the purpose of the marching, but I suspect he does. The current strategy is to not directly interfere with the demonstration, but to stand back and ridicule it, and so he insults. At least he’s not accusing them of “denying Catholics their basic civil rights!”

Some treat the Orange walk as only “a cultural, family-friendly event at which tourists are welcome.” One may hope for that; it would mean a lasting peace... God grant that it never become necessary for these men, (and women!) to show what they are really made of!

Who exactly decided that “transgender” issues were going to be an obsessive media focus this year??

I’m 56 y.o. and have hardly seen any articles or given a thought to “transgender” b.s. over my lifetime, until this year when some weird obsessive rage burst forth in the media and we are subjected to this nonsense 24x7.
