This weekend my home town is host to one of the largest 🏳️‍🌈 Pride events in the world, people flock here to celebrate the diversity and inclusion we are blessed with in our local communities. Brighton has it's problems but I fucking love living in a place where freedom of expression is not only tollerated but celebrated. It's probably the friendliest place I've had the pleasure to live. Certainly in the UK.

Being home to one of the largest LGBTQ communities here it's really not an unnusual experience for me to see trans men and women on the street, or to see gay and lesbian couples holding hands or embracing. It's a normal part of life. "Normal" people doing normal things, going about their lives, and not bothering me in any way while they do it.

I don't come on socials much but increasingly when I do my feeds are littered with hate towards trans people - it's unnatural, they want to mutilate your children, corrupt your minds, burn civilisation and all that is good to the ground. Please!

It's like me feed is constantly telling me that my neighbours are my enemies. I refuse to accept that. I don't really care all that much to go in to the science or philosophy of what is and isn't a man or a woman because while they might be interesting topics it's always more important to me to accept people as unique individuals and to interface with them as such.

People are interesting and diversity is the spice of life. All I can really wish for others is that they find the freedom and strength to fully express their own uniqueness. 💜
