The United Kingdom and some other western nations seem like another planet in how far more advanced they are than our supposed "Land of the Free" United States when it comes to LGBT rights. This is an interesting speech from a voice in working class Hackney, a borough of London, that has had to address a rise in hate crimes against the LGBT community. I am asking the reader to initially suspend judgment when reading this speech and to consider the ideas presented then contemplate the similarities and differences we share along with the gender dynamics mentioned by this trans man speaker, Jamrat Mason, addressing Hackney Pride and the struggles we all experience due to the question of gender and society's role in attempting to define acceptable roles for all of us.
