Changing Traditions-leprechaun

Irish folklore suggests there aren't any females.
An ancient book called "A History Of Irish Fairies" reveals that there are no evidence of there being a female leprechaun -- ever.

SO gotta ask how do leprechauns get made?
From what I have read on X the Lep will be a female at the football game this weekend. ND has had female Leps for a couple of years, but not at football games.

Leprechaun are technically members of the shee. There is only one member of the shee who are explicitly designated as female and that is the Banshee. Other interpretations suggest are the offspring of fairies who were deemed "defective children...because of their shape and disposition,"
Yes, I have been reading the same articles. Irish mythology is very interesting.
How long will it be till Renegade and Traveler have female riders? 😉
....since a "leprechaun" is a mythical creature, it can be pretty much whatever anyone wants it to be.....
I can attest to that because when was younger and employed in Newark, at night we could look out the windows and see the ‘fairies’.
Leprechaun donkey
Leprechaun anaconda
Leprechaun grasshopper
Leprechaun persimmon
But not traditional if ND is going to explicitly thumb it's nose at the tradition.
....next thing you know they'll be letting women join the Irish Guard....no......wait.....what?...Did the world end and I just missed it?.....
They will be letting short fat clarinet players join the Irish 'Guard'
Is the tradition dead?
Yes.
No but black, Jewish & gay. Got all the boxes checked.
Guessing the OP is adamantly against male cheerleaders too.
Nowhere in Webster does the definition of " leprechaun " refer to a specific gender.
"We fight for solving the most unnecessary problems - We are the fighting Irish" 
Who cares. Just make it a full costume and nobody gives a rip. The last few choices have been so piss poor anyway. The last one that looked anything like a mythical creature from Ireland was 2015.
Maybe some little girl out there becomes a fan because of it. Just do like most, go to two. A female and male. Even Lep's have to breed to get more leps.

So, Webster's Dictionary is the authority on Irish mythology?
The last I looked in a mirror I was female and I don't know if all traditions have to be changed for gender equity. An easy solution would be to have both female and male Leps at the games.
In this crazy, ever changing world I find comfort in tradition. Changes come and go. Some are definitely needed and some maybe not so important or even wrong. One great thing though is to be able to state your opinion even if it differs from others.
Go Irish! Beat Pitt!!
Wouldn't be surprised that way back in the day cheering had more guys than girls at some schools.
While most people believe that leprechauns are human mixed with fairy, it is widely unknown that they most resemble an earth reptile in the sense that they lay eggs and shed their skin every few years until they reach full maturity, as well as having retractable teeth used for killing.
Leprechauns: Myth or Reptilian Monsters -
Think I am done with leprechaun research now. 🤣Or that cheerleaders at ND were exclusively male until the lovely Teri Buck came along.
.....you know what "mythical" means...kinda like your NFL cheerleader girlfriend.....
I vote for a male tinker bell in the next Peter Pan movie!
Kinda went over this earlier, citing various works on Irish Mythology. But then again if Hamilton can be black I guess a leprechaun can be female.
I really wish I was talented enough to write a play or script. I would love to “reimagine” the MLK Jr story with him as a white man.
I guess if you’re dumb enough to ignore historical context and 58 years of tradition you’d post that response.
Stick to issues concerning Michigan State
