Whilst many here in England fly their flags, proud to be British, I couldn't be any more ashamed.

Whilst many here in England fly their flags, proud to be British, I couldn't be any more ashamed. Whilst "White British" for me has only ever been a checkbox on form, for others it is their entire identity.
How boring, plain and empty does someone have to be for that to be the extent of who they are? To be so fearful of anyone even slightly beyond the basic, that it makes them hate with such passion? Creates such a desperate need within themselves to protect that, by pulling those people below themselves and trampling all over them.
I know these people well. They've bullied me at school. Bullied me in the workplace, and bullied me in the streets.
Yet for me, compared to others, I might first appear to be a "White British", just like them, but with a weirdness that doesn't pigeonhole easily, which always put me on the brunt.
I stand by trans. I stand by immigrants. I stand by homosexuals. I stand by neurodivergents. I stand by the creatives, and everyone who's existence offends them.
There are more of us together than there are of them. The fight has only just begun.

#uk #rights #ukpol #trans #immigrants #lbgtq #flags@shye I think like you, that for forms I am white and British, but I aspire to be a good person, a good global citizen, treading lightly, and making things better for everyone on the way. When you seperate pride from nationality, you realise humanity does not have borders, but barriers put up to control people, when if people really (and I mean really) took a step back and looked at what we are leaving to future generations, many, especially the powerful, should be ashamed.
