The English identity debate has become the new trans issue.

Shabana Mahmood demands you respect her preferred pronouns and recognise her, a Pakistani woman, as English.

Denying that the British people exist as distinct, indigenous peoples is ethnocidal rhetoric. As Thomas Corbett-Dillon said on GB News, if this were happening to any other group, the UN would be calling it a genocide.

It is particularly insidious when Mahmood is pretending to reduce immigration, while creating "new safe and legal routes" for Muslim "asylum seekers", and paying fake refugees the equivalent of a year's wages to return to their home countries.

But some who were right that the answer to "What is a woman?" was "Adult human female" now say that ethnicity is a matter of self-ID, and being British is about "how you feel".

Nigel Farage, Ben Habib, Paul Embery, and even Kellie-Jay Keen argue that people can "pass" as English or British, despite having no British ancestry.

No, you cannot be trans-English. Our identity is not a vibe or set of values. British identity is derived from ancestry. And I will not be compelled to lie to be polite.
