I'm only partway through the speech, but I'm curious to hear what everyone thinks!

Some fantastic quotes in there. I'll probably update as I hear more.

On forming the LGB Alliance:

Winding forwards, I received, somewhere about September, early October, an invite from Kate Harris, to attend a meeting at Conway Hall... There were only 70 people that were going to be invited. We had to keep it secret, and when we got there, there was security. No one leaked that meeting. But I marvel-- marvel isn't the right word. I reflect, with horror, that in 2019, as of now, we need to have security, we need to meet secretly, to meet as lesbian, gay and bisexual people, it is an outrage. [8:10]

Other:

...And that is why, when people ask online, "If you're LGB Alliance, why are you focusing so much on gender identity?" Well: it's because it's an existential threat to us. [14:45]

And:

Our rights are not conditional on us supporting gender identity theory.

Thank you for those bits; I won't have time to watch this until later this week, but I will.

The gender Identity stands out for me as well.
